Steps for making sweet potato balls: 1. Prepare the ingredients for making sweet potato balls: sweet potatoes, glutinous rice flour, sugar, etc.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes first and cut them into thin slices. The thinner, the easier it is to steam, which saves steaming time. Put the water in the pot and steam for about 10 minutes. Use chopsticks to pierce it easily.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar while it is hot, pour it into a bowl and press it into mashed sweet potatoes.
4. Wait for it to cool down slowly, then pour in the glutinous rice flour, in small amounts several times, stirring while pouring.
5. Fully blend it with the sweet potato puree. You can also use flour, but the texture of the flour will be hard.
6. Knead the dough into a moderately soft and hard dough. This requires a little patience and the process takes about 5 or 6 minutes.
7. Take a piece of dough, place it in the palm of your hand and shape it into a small ball. One piece weighs about 25 grams.
8. After it is done, add cooking oil to the pot. The amount of oil is slightly more. Wait until the oil temperature is 50% hot. Add the sweet potato balls from the edge of the pot and fry slowly over low heat. If the fire is too fast, it will easily burn. The outside is burnt and the inside is not yet cooked. Pay attention during the frying process. In order to avoid burning the bottom of the pot, shake the pot every 1 minute.
9. Use chopsticks to gently flip the meatballs so that they are fully heated and evenly heated. When the color is golden and the sweet potato meatballs float, you can remove them to control the oil.
10. Very crispy on the outside, sweet and soft on the inside.
