Add the chopped Yams in a saucepan. Fill the saucepan with cold water and a pinch of salt. Bring this to a boil over medium high heat. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the Yams get fork tender. Drain the remaining water and allow them to cool down for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add all the other remaining ingredients. Bring to a quick boil over medium high heat while stirring constantly.
Add the Yams and toss with the sauce. Boil for about 10 minutes over low heat until the sauce thickens and coats the Yams. Once done, serve hot!
