Essential Ingredients- 7 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 banana
- 2 Tbsp honey
- Chopped nuts (to taste)
- 1 castella cake
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the castella cake. Finely sift the castella cake through a sieve to create a powdery texture, similar to breadcrumbs. This will be used to coat the outside of the sweet potato dumplings, adding a nutty flavor and an even softer texture.
Step 2
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Wrap them in plastic wrap and microwave for about 5 minutes until cooked through. Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your sweet potatoes. They are ready when a chopstick can be easily inserted.
Step 3
Carefully remove the skin from the hot sweet potatoes. Let them cool slightly until they are no longer steaming, then use a fork or a masher to create a smooth puree. It’s important to mash them thoroughly to avoid any lumps.
Step 4
Add one ripe banana to the mashed sweet potatoes and mash them together until well combined. The banana adds extra sweetness and creaminess to the sweet potatoes, along with a subtle banana aroma. Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey for sweetness and some chopped nuts for a delightful crunch. Mix everything evenly until well incorporated.
Step 5
Shape the well-mixed sweet potato dough into bite-sized balls. These are perfect for kids’ snacks or enjoyed with tea. Roll the formed sweet potato balls in the prepared castella cake powder, ensuring they are evenly coated. Your delicious sweet potato dumplings are now ready to enjoy!
