When cooking in the kitchen, the thing that I have to be fully aware of is the colorful variations of the ingredients that I will cook and serve on the dining table. Especially about vegetables.

With various variations of vegetable colors, it adds to the taste of our food with an attractive appearance. In addition, we also make different variations, not the same every day. And it's good to start with different sources of nutrition from various types of ingredients.

I think I haven't served sweet potatoes as my source of carbohydrates for a long time. Indeed, I am very grateful, by living in Indonesia, I have many choices. I can have many variations of food sources, especially for carbohydrates.

For breakfast, I usually switch to something lighter than rice. Often, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, banana, or corn. So, for today, I will show you how I prepare breakfast in my kitchen. Also, with some art that I make on a serving plate to enhance the taste.

Well, you can replace sweet potatoes with potatoes. Here, I use 500 grams of sweet potatoes which can also be served as lunch or snacks if there are leftovers from breakfast that have been served.

Also, of course, you can replace the vegetables in my recipe with other vegetables that you can get in your respective areas. Enjoy my colorful breakfast recipe this time.

If you don't have mung bean sprouts like the ones I use in this recipe, then you can replace them with microgreens which also have lots of nutrients. It's just that, microgreens are added at the final serving, not cooked together with other vegetables so that it doesn't get damaged in texture and nutrition.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE SWEET POTATOES
