Bulk Stovetop Preparation
-
Boil: Bring a large pot of water to a vigorous rolling boil.
-
Add & Stir: Gradually add the Iyan Ado Flour while stirring constantly with a heavy-duty wooden spoon (Omorogun).
-
Knead: For a large batch, continue to "knead" the dough against the sides of the pot to ensure all flour is hydrated and no lumps remain.
-
Steam: Add a splash of hot water, cover, and let it steam on low heat for 3–5 minutes to ensure the starch is fully cooked.
-
Final Stretch: Give it a final, vigorous stir until the dough is stretchy, smooth, and glossy. Serve hot in molded mounds.
Why Choose Iyan Ado?
Iyan Ado is a legacy brand trusted by generations for its commitment to the "Original" pounded yam experience. Our 9kg Bulk Pack undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure the starch ratios are perfectly balanced for large-scale cooking. We understand that Pounded Yam is more than a side dish—it is a symbol of abundance and celebration. With Iyan Ado, you can serve a crowd with the confidence that every bite will taste like home.
Chef's Tip: When preparing a 9kg batch, it is best to divide the process into smaller portions or use a high-powered commercial mixer to ensure the "stretch" is uniform throughout. To keep the finished product soft for hours, wrap the hot molded balls tightly in food-grade plastic wrap or store them in an insulated food warmer.
