Fried Sweet Potato Nian Gao Balls

 COVID-20

For the rest of the nian gao, I tried out this recipe and video can be found via the link.

   

hehehheh... doesn't look that nice right? But it taste just fine... crispy on the outside, soft and gooey nian gao inside. Recipe for keeps cos it's a different way of incorporating nian gao and it doesn't taste so sweet nor jelat :)

Ingredients:
350g purple sweet potato
45g sugar
2 tbsp cooking oil
90g glutinous rice flour
70g rice flour

Method:
1. Steam the sweet potato till soft. (about 20 min)
2. Mash the sweet potato while hot and add sugar to mix well.
3. Add oil to the mixture and mix well
4. Add glutinous rice flour and rice flour to the mixture. 
5. Add water by the tablespoon. Add spoon by spoon till you knead to a pliable dough (about 12 tbsps of water ~ but dependent on the moisture level of the sweet potato).
