How to make it?
Defrost Frozen Baked Sweet Potato:
- Place the frozen baked sweet potato in the refrigerator one day in advance
- Steam Cooker: Place the frozen baked sweet potato into the steam cooker. No need to add water to the outer pot. Heat it up for 3~5 minutes
- Microwave: Take the frozen baked sweet potatoes out of the package, adjust the power of the microwave to 700W, and heat for 2-3 minutes
Using Frozen Baked Sweet Potato:
- Defrost the baked sweet potato, and then peel off the skin. Cut it into hob shape or irregular shape
- Put about 1300ml of water in the pot, add brown sugar-flavored old ginger slices (you can put more if you like stronger ginger flavor)
- After the water boils, add the sweet potato
- You may add more brown sugar once the water boils again. The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to personal preference.
- Add a little bit of salt to neutralize the sweetness, and it tastes milder~
- Turn to medium-low heat and cover the pot, simmer for 15-20 minutes, then it's ready to serve~
Using fresh sweet potato or taro:
- Wash and peel the sweet potato/taro, cut into a hob shape. You may cut 1/2~2/3 of the sweet potato/taro, and then break off the rest with a knife, so that the section of the sweet potato/taro will taste better
- Put about 1300ml of water in the pot, add brown sugar-flavored old ginger slices (you can put more if you like stronger ginger flavor)
- After the water boils, add the sweet potato/taro
- You may add more brown sugar once the water boils again. The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to personal preference.
- Add a little bit of salt to neutralize the sweetness, and it tastes milder~
- Turn to medium-low heat, cook the sweet potato/taro until it is soft enough that chopsticks can pass through easily, then it's ready to serve!
To add the K.K Orchard Sweet Potato/Taro Dice:
- Boil a new pot of water, put the sweet potato balls/taro balls into the pot
- Cook until the sweet potato balls float, and then cook for another 2 ~ 3 minutes, wait until the sweet potato balls have puffed up, then remove and add to the sweet soup to eat
