Ingredients :
- Sweet potatoes - try to get the white and orange varieties for a mix of colour
- Ginger - peeled and sliced into chunks
- Sugar (I used rock sugar)
- Pandan Leaves (optional)
Directions :
- Peel the sweet potatos and cut them up into chunks. Small chunks will cook faster but bigger chunks give you more bite.
- Place the sweet potato, ginger and pandan leaves into a pot of water and bring to the boil. Let it boil for a spell before removing the ginger. The longer you leave it in, the spicier it gets. Similarly, the more ginger you use, the more spicy it will be, so its a matter of taste. Don’t worry if you don’t have pandan leaves, I didn’t either.
- Add some sugar into the water and stir until it dissolves. Sugar is added to taste.
- Boil until the sweet potato softens. Poke it with a fork to check.
- When done, turn off the fire and serve hot or let it cool and stick it in the fridge and serve cold. It works both ways.
