I got the idea of cooking this tong sui/dessert after I tried it from ‘tim pan kor kor’; a dessert shop in Subang.
It looks pretty simple. All you need is just a packet of tong yuen (glutinuos rice ball) which can be purchased from the supermarket (I’m lazy ma…so I just buy it from the supermarket. Moreover I do not know how to make the one with black sesame content lerr…. ^^), 1 number of sweet potato(your desired size), gula melaka and ginger.
cut the whole sweet potato into cubes
METHOD:
- Boil a pot of water
- Put in the ginger (approximate 4cm, sliced it)
- Add in gula melaka (you may also substitute it with normal sugar)
- When the water is boiling; add in the sweet potatoes.
- Cook till the sweet potatoes is soft enough.
- As for the ‘tong yuen’; boil separately in another pot of boiling water. When the tong yuen are floating above…means its cooked. You can now scoop them up.
Haha I thought you make your tong yuen from scratch.. I also like to buy this brand of tong yuen… next time can add some pandan leaves to your tong sui also… quite nice..
hahaha…….start from stratch oso can…quite simple oso….
but then I only know how to do the one without filling…. 😦
