Detailed Steps for Cooking Purple Sweet Potato Glutinous Rice Colorful Balls Dessert
Prepare medium-sized purple and yellow sweet potatoes, wash, peel, slice (steam quickly until soft) and steam them in a rice cooker over water until tender.
Mash the steamed sweet potatoes (keep the two colors separate), add an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour (slightly less than sweet potatoes) and white sugar (it is recommended to add water and mix well).
Knead the sweet potato mash and glutinous rice flour into a ball.
Roll them into purple and yellow small balls, then make some white pure glutinous rice balls.
Set aside in a bowl.
Cook the pearls.
Cook the sago. This is a tedious task, pearls and sago need to be cooked several times for a good texture, just like the ones sold in bubble tea shops. Search for the cooking method online, hehe~
With only the above ingredients, the soup might be a bit plain, so add mung beans for the soup base. Use a small amount of mung beans, soak them overnight, put them in a small bowl with half a bowl of water, and steam them until cooked, you can steam them together with the sweet potatoes.
