I love chewy dessert and one of my favorite is Snowflakes' best seller, which consists of super chewy taro balls and sweet potato balls. I have done some research and customize the easiest way to make the hot version of sweet potato balls ginger dessert.
Ingredients:
- 180g Sweet potatoes
- 2 black sugar ginger cubes
- 2 teaspoon of brown sugar
- 60g tapioca starch
- 30ml water
- Chinese wolfberry
- Red dates
- Ice
10 Steps Guide:
1. Cut the sweet potatoes into cubes.
2. Steam it for 20 - 30 minutes until its soft.
3. After that mash the sweet potatoes with a fork. Add-on two teaspoons of brown sugar while its hot so that it will melt. You may reduce the sugar based on your preference. Then, weigh the sweet potatoes.
4. Mix it with tapioca starch. The proportion should be 3 (sweet potato):1 (tapioca starch). In my case, my sweet potatoes are 180g so I mix it with 60g of tapioca starch. Excellent tip shared by my kawan.
5. Mix it with water bits by bit while you knead the dough. I added on 20ml of water, kneaded the dough and add-on another 10ml of water as I knead. The dough is ready when it does not stick to your hand.
Note: Adding too much water will result in non-chewy sweet potato balls!
6. Then, roll the dough into one long row and cut it into small square size. Round the edges to make it pretty.
7. Put in the sweet potatoes balls in the boiling water. Once all the sweet potato balls start floating up, they are ready!
8. Drain the sweet potato balls and run it through water. Then put it in cold/ice water.
7. Wash and slice the red dates, ginger and chinese wolfberry.
8. Boil a pot of water with two black sugar ginger cubes.
9. Add-on the sliced red dates, ginger and chinese wolfberry.
10. Add-on the sweet potato balls 5-10 minutes before you want to serve.
Try it out! It's a lot easier than it sounds. :D
