In early winter, you can often see a variety of delicious delicacies at the large market in the countryside, especially radish, cabbage and sweet potatoes. As for sweet potatoes, some people think that steamed sweet potatoes are not as delicious as roasted sweet potatoes and do not run oil. But in fact, this is because many people have misunderstandings about the method of steaming sweet potatoes. Today, I am going to share a proper way to steam sweet potatoes so that each sweet potato can be sweet and plump, oily and sweet. Friends who like sweet potatoes can try it.
Before steaming sweet potatoes, we first have to dry the sweet potatoes. The function of drying sweet potatoes is to remove excess water and make sweet potatoes sweeter.
Not only in early winter, but even in other seasons, it is very important to remove excess water from sweet potatoes. This not only increases the taste of sweet potatoes, but also prolongs their storage time and avoids spoilage and mold.
Choosing a sunny place to dry sweet potatoes can make full use of the heat of the sun and accelerate the evaporation of water. Let the sweet potatoes become fuller and sweeter in the process of drying.
Before steaming sweet potatoes, we also need to pick the right sweet potatoes and soak and wash them.
When picking sweet potatoes, it is best to choose sweet potatoes that are evenly sized. This can ensure that the steamed sweet potatoes are evenly cooked and have a better taste.
Soak the sweet potatoes in water for about 10 minutes, which will remove dirt and impurities from the surface. After washing, we can start the process of steaming the sweet potatoes.
1. Prepare a steamer basket and enough water to ensure that the pot will not be burned dry during the steaming process.
2.Place the soaked and washed sweet potatoes in a steamer basket and steam over high heat for 40 minutes. It is important to note here that the time of steaming sweet potatoes is very important. If the steaming time is too short, the flesh of the sweet potato may be hard and hard, affecting the taste.
3.During the steaming process, always make sure that there is enough water in the pot and avoid boiling the pan dry. Sometimes, we may neglect the amount of water in the pot because we are busy with other things, which is very bad.
4.After steaming for 40 minutes, turn off the heat and let the sweet potatoes simmer for 5 minutes. The resulting sweet potatoes will be very sweet and mouth-watering.
One might ask, why not use the oven to bake sweet potatoes?Roasted sweet potatoes are indeed a very convenient method, but for some people with poor appetites, eating roasted sweet potatoes is prone to stomach acid, which can also lead to fire.
Steamed sweet potatoes are different, because the water of sweet potatoes is retained during the steaming process, the taste is softer and more delicate, and it tastes more refreshing and sweet, and it is not easy to cause stomach acid problems.
Especially for most people, steamed sweet potatoes are more suitable for their taste and digestive system, which is delicious and less likely to cause physical discomfort.
