Taro/Yam Paste Filling （mooncake）芋泥馅料(月饼馅）

Mooncake festival is approaching. Since my daughter doesn't like the traditonal bean paste filling, so I decided to make my own.  There is one big yam in the fridge, and some purple sweet potatoes too, so I quickily take them out, and started to make the yam paste.😊

This is a less sweet and less oil version taro paste. If you like it sweeter, you can add in more sugar to your liking. If you like buttery taro paste, just substitute butter(60g) for oil(70g).
