It is a blessing to live on this earth, where there are so many plants that can be a source of food for living things. As humans, we should be grateful to have become an important part of the earth. If you know that there are so many plants and vegetation that are created as a source of food.
I live in a tropical area that has 2 seasons, we are very blessed with fertile soil, even if you throw wood, the wood can be infested with mushrooms that can be processed into very delicious food with an umami taste. So, we really should be very grateful.
Sweet potato, an ingredient that comes from the soil, a type of tuber that has a sweet taste, as one type of carbohydrate besides rice and wheat, has a distinctive and very soft texture. Sweet potatoes are very abundant here, where I live.
So there are so many kinds of food that can be made from these ingredients. One of them is this menu that I made with all my heart. Usually our locals call it sweet potato balls (Indonesian: bola ubi). I guarantee that this food tastes delicious and is gluten free.
The Ingredients of Sweet Potato Balls With Sesame:
- 200 gr sweet potato
- 1 liter water
- 150 gr glutinous rice flour
- 70 gr granulated sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Sesame seeds to taste (for outer coating)
- Oil for frying
How to Make Sweet Potato Balls With Sesame:
Honestly, this recipe is very simple, I only need to mix a few ingredients and it's done. That's the step, but you have to use a guide in the process. Although very simple, there is a technique even though it's not too difficult.
- Peeled sweet potatoes, cut into small sizes so they are easy to boil and the boiled water can easily make the sweet potatoes soft in 15 minutes. Wash thoroughly afterwards.
- If you have a soft texture, the next step is to crush it in a bowl with a fork or you can also blend it.
- Mix with glutinous rice flour, sugar and salt. Be careful, it's a bit hot because the sweet potatoes have just been boiled.
- If you already have a dough that is mixed, you can also add 2 tablespoons of water if it looks very difficult to mix. I formed it like this, more like a tube, but you can also make it like a nice ball.
- It's time to coat it with sesame seeds. I put a little water on the outer layer so that it sticks easily to the dough.
- With vegetable oil that is still at room temperature, put the dough in and then turn on the stove. Use a small fire so that it doesn't burn easily and the innermost part of the dough can be cooked perfectly.
- Serve!
See you the next time hive friends!
