~ Sweet Potato Soup

P7100322

Taken from:
Dad's

Description:
Traditional sweet potato 甜汤 - 吃在嘴里,甜在心里!

Ingredients:
3 small sweet potatoes, skinned and diced
1/2 C rock sugar
1 knob ginger
Bunch of pandan leaves
1 L water

1 tbsp mini sago

Directions:
1)Boil pandan leaves and ginger in 1L water till fragrant (around 10 min) before adding in the sweet potatoes.
2) Bring to boil, and simmer till potatoes are soft but firm.
3) Dissolve rock sugar in the broth first, and then add in the sago.
4) Simmer till sago is no longer opaque. Serve warm.

Remarks:
Despite the fact that the sweet potatoes were really sweet, the dessert seemed to pale in comparison to the ones Dad make. The broth can be made spicier with more ginger or sweeter with sugar to one's taste.
