Sweet potatoes are common ingredients in our lives, which can be cooked, boiled porridge, or directly steamed and roasted, and the taste is sweet and soft. Generally speaking, autumn and winter are the best seasons to eat sweet potatoes, when sweet potatoes are fresh and taste better. Today I would like to share with you a sweet potato ball, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, soft and glutinous and sweet, especially for the elderly and children.
First of all, prepare some slightly larger sweet potatoes, clean them, peel them and cut them into thin slices, put them on the steaming drawer and spread them out, add water to the pot and boil over high heat, steam for about 15-20 minutes after the water boils, and use chopsticks to prick it during the steaming process.
Then pour the steamed sweet potatoes into a large basin, mash them into sweet potato puree while hot, the more crushed and delicate the better, and then add a little bit of white sugar to increase the sweetness according to your taste, and if you don't like too sweet, you can not add it, after all, the sweet potato itself has a sweet taste. Wait for the sweet potato puree to cool a little and then form it into a ball of the same size, in order to prevent sticking or sticking, you can apply a little starch to the palm of the hand, which is easier to operate.
Finally, after all the sweet potato mash is lumped into balls, pour some more cooking oil into the pot, turn to medium-low heat when the oil temperature is 5 hot, and then slowly put the sweet potato balls that have just been balled one by one along the edge of the pot and fry them in the pot, first fry them over medium-low heat for a while, and then turn to high heat to fry them until the surface color is golden and you can take them out to control the oil.
Generally speaking, you can eat it directly while it is hot, but I think if you want to taste better, you can sprinkle some sugar or honey on it, and then steam it in the pot for a few more minutes to make the sugar more integrated into the meatballs, so that the taste is better.
