Purple Sweet Potatoes Dessert Soup

Sweet potatoes soup

“Take this Low GI, Low GL and Relatively Low Calories Dessert!”

I liked sweet potatoes, of all ways. Baked, boiled, steamed, soup, and even fried. And all colors of it as well. So, I had to have varieties in my sweet potato soup. I preferred it with less sugar, too. Honey rock sugar would make my preffered choice, and it is good for smoothen dry throat, reduce “heatiness” and improve skin and complexion. To add better flavour to my sweet soup, I liked to use also the pandan leaf. It gives an aroma of pandan in my palate when having it.

To the non-initiated, the yellow and orange sweet potatoes are more suitable to cook in soup as the purple flesh type is softened easier than other types. Thus, my experience tells me not to over boil them. Note that the colour of the soup will turn to purplish due to the purple flesh sweet potato. The longer it is cooked, the darker purplish soup it would be. Hence, do not be alarmed. It gives an uniquely nice colour to this dessert without affecting its taste, indeed.

It’s dessert time! Easy steps for mouth-watering sweet potato dessert. Let’s start:

My Wok Life Cooking Blog Purple Sweet Potatoes Dessert SoupIngredients
2 regular yellow flesh sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into smaller piece, as desired
2 regular purple flesh sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small piece, as desired
2 card-size honey rock sugar (or normal rock sugar, if desired)
4 leafs of pandan leaf, washed and tie all into a knot
1 thick slice of ginger (about 1 cm thick)
1 pot of water (about 1500ml)

Method
1) Bring a pot of water to boil. Put in yellow flesh sweet potatoes, and bring to boil again.

2) Reduce heat to simmer, for 10 min. Add in purple flesh potatoes, ginger, pandan leave and rock sugar.

3) Simmer for another 15 min, or until sweet potatoes soften. Serve hot.

Many people has this perception that sweet potato is high-carbohydrate food. In fact, the carbs value content of sweet potato is much lesser than in white rice by almost half the carbs value. Sweet potato is low in GI, and relatively low in calories. It is also high in nutrients especially Vitamin A which is good for eyes for children. Sweet potato is a better alternative to rice. I like to cook the sweet potatoes with plain porridge for lunch or dinner, and add low-fat milk to the steamed sweet potatoes to eat as breakfast. It’s simply wonderful!

A regular bowl of sweet potato soup here counts about 170kcal.

Tips: Add more sugar to yield “standard” sweetness in it.
*Remove the pandan leaf and/ or ginger slice earlier, if mild flavour preferred.
* Sweet potatoes will disintegrate easily, if over boiled.
* Add yellow flesh first, and then purple flesh as the purples one softens faster than the yellow or orange ones.
*Choose different colour flesh, as desired.

Having a good breakfast is the best way to kicksta Having a good breakfast is the best way to kickstart the day! Just simple #cheese scrambled egg on #buttered #toast 🧀🥪 with sides of #berries, paired with a glass of cold #milk 🥛… Enjoy this #breakfast at your own pace on a #weekend.

Here’s my best trick to make excellent fusion-style #scrambledeggs 🥚:

(1) Crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of milk (any kind of your choice).
(2) ^IMPORTANT STEP: Fork a thumb-sized cold #butter, and beat the eggs with the fork (with butter) until you achieve a slight #smooth #creamy consistency. *It’s Okay if butter is not fully dissolved. Just leave it in the beaten eggs. 
(3) Heat a pan with oil over low fire, then pour in the beaten eggs. (Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese, if you want.) Allow the eggs to sit in the pan untouched for at least 15 seconds before gently scrambling them. Continue to cook until the eggs become slightly firm with some wetness remaining. 

This is a combination of English-style and American-style #scrambledegg which I prefer. Using #dairy with a result of larger and firmer curds. 😋

Enjoy your Sunday! 🌸
