From the old chefs of my master's generation, the boiled sweet potatoes and potatoes are fried directly in the pot, and there is no champion of the "Top Ten Best Vegetables" selected by the Lishui Health Organization! Sweet potato is called sweet potato in Handan. Sweet potato has the effects of "tonifying deficiency, benefiting qi, strengthening spleen and stomach and strengthening kidney yin". Regarding the question whether the authentic boiled sweet potatoes need to be watered in advance, my answer is yes. Sweet potatoes and potatoes belong to starch stew, which is much simpler. Especially for the New Year's Eve, I take "shredded sweet potatoes, shredded Chinese yam, shredded apples and shredded eggs" as the finale every year. When the golden and shiny shredded sweet potatoes are served, the chopsticks of the whole family will stick out. Compared with the high-content ingredients, they can be fried directly, so I have been doing this in Harbin and Beijing for many years.
There are many delicious foods. However, children's preferences are different from those of adults. At that time, what we love most is whether we need to blanch? There are two ways to treat sweet potatoes. One way is to oil them. Cut them into small pieces and fry them in hot oil for golden color, and then fry them until they are cooked. The second method is blanching, that is, blanching the sweet potato cut into small pieces in clear water. After boiling with strong fire, there are three kinds of sweet potatoes: red pulp, yellow pulp and white pulp. It is recommended to choose red pulp for making shredded sweet potatoes, because this variety of sweet potatoes is crispy outside and waxy inside, with moderate moisture, unlike white pulp and yellow pulp.
