Main Ingredients- 1 mini sweet potato (approx. 300-400g)
- 1 fresh egg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the necessary ingredients. The size of the mini sweet potato and the freshness of the egg will greatly influence the taste, so choosing good quality ingredients is important.
Step 2
Wash the exterior of the sweet potato thoroughly under running water. If there are any hard, protruding parts, carefully trim them off with a knife for a neat finish.
Step 3
Cut the washed mini sweet potato in half. Be careful to prevent the knife from slipping. Scoop out and discard the seeds from the center with a spoon.
Step 4
Considering the portion to be used as a topping, set aside a suitable amount of sweet potato for the bread’s main base, and prepare the rest separately for topping.
Step 5
Place the prepared sweet potato halves in a steamer and steam over medium heat for about 20 minutes until tender. Adjust the cooking time to ensure the sweet potato is cooked through and soft.
Step 6
While the sweet potato is steaming, thinly slice the portion reserved for topping. Slicing them as thinly as possible will help them cook evenly and look beautiful when baked or microwaved.
Step 7
Now, carefully separate the egg into its white and yolk. Place the egg white in one bowl for whipping into meringue, and the yolk in another for mixing into the batter.
Step 8
About 3 minutes before the sweet potato finishes steaming, place the separated egg whites in a bowl and whip them using a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. The peaks should stand upright firmly.
Step 9
When the meringue reaches stiff peaks and is ready, the bowl can be inverted without the meringue sliding out – it will have a thick, firm consistency. This indicates successful meringue preparation!
Step 10
Transfer the well-steamed sweet potato to a wide bowl after letting it cool slightly. Mashing it while too hot can release excess moisture, making the mixture watery. It’s best to mash it after it has cooled a bit.
Step 11
Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the sweet potato until it’s smooth and lump-free. Add the separated egg yolk to the mashed sweet potato and mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Step 12
Once the sweet potato and egg yolk are thoroughly combined, gently fold in the stiff meringue prepared earlier. It’s crucial to fold gently to avoid deflating the meringue, which would result in a denser bread.
Step 13
When incorporating the meringue, use a spatula to fold from the bottom upwards or rotate the bowl as you mix gently. Overmixing can cause the meringue’s air to escape, leading to a tough bread.
Step 14
Pour the finished sweet potato batter into a microwave-safe, oven-safe dish. You can also use muffin molds or small baking pans. Be careful not to overfill the container.
Step 15
Arrange the thinly sliced sweet potato topping decoratively over the batter. Then, cover the dish with plastic wrap and poke about 5 small holes in the top with a chopstick or toothpick. This allows steam to escape, preventing the bread from bursting.
Step 16
Place the prepared sweet potato egg bread in the microwave and cook on high for approximately 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage, so check for doneness and adjust the time as needed.
Step 17
Ta-da! Your delicious sweet potato egg bread is ready. Doesn’t it look wonderfully appetizing with its golden-brown top? A healthy and sweet snack is complete!
Step 18
Slice the finished sweet potato bread into desired shapes and let it cool completely. While it’s delicious warm, allowing it to cool will enhance its chewy texture.
Step 19
Arrange the cooled sweet potato egg bread attractively on a child-friendly plate or a nice serving dish for a delightful and nutritious snack that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy!
