  • Wheat flour120g
  • ★Water (adjust as needed)10-40 cc
Allergens

Directions

30 min
  1. 1

    Peel 400g of sweet potato, cut into 1cm cubes, and soak in plenty of water.

  2. 2

    Drain the sweet potato well, transfer to a bowl, sprinkle 100g of brown sugar, and let sit for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Meanwhile, bring water to boil in your steamer and cut parchment paper into 9cm squares.

  4. 4

    Reserve the liquid released from the sweet potato and add 120g of wheat flour, mixing well with a spatula.

  5. 5

    While checking the batter consistency, gradually add ★ water and mix until smooth and the potato pieces are just bound together.

  6. 6

    Place the batter on parchment paper and shape into a rough, bumpy form.

  7. 7

    Set in the steamer and steam for 15-20 minutes. Make sure the steamer water doesn't run dry.

  8. 8

    Insert a toothpick - if the sweet potato is cooked through, it's done!

Tips

Coating the sweet potato with sugar draws out moisture for a fluffy texture. Cooling in the breeze while still warm gives a glossy surface. Using paper-type parchment paper allows steam to escape and prevents a soggy texture.
