So for today my post will be a sweet Asian dessert I love
Such a hearty simple dessert
Inspiration was from Sonia's site, thanks Sonia :)
What you need:
sweet potatoes, peeled and cleaned, cut
a few pandan leaves, tie into knots
1 block palm sugar
brown sugar (as desired)
a thumb size of young ginger, lightly smashed
a pot of water
- Bring to boil a pot of water
- Add in sweet poatoes, pandan leaves, palm sugar, ginger and let simmer for 20-30 minutes
- (check ocassionally to avoid sweet potatoes turn too soft)
- Add in brown sugar to the desired sweetness
- Off heat and serve warm

Tapi mungkin kalo yg ini lebih ringan rasanya ya mbak, namanya aja sup. Ntar kapan kapan mau coba, makasih ya Mbak!
