Yen Can Cook ~ Sweet Potato Dessert Soup

This dessert soup aka Tong Sui most probably one of the easiest to prepare and only require four simple ingredients. In merely 15 minutes, you’ll get a bowl of delicious yet nutritious dessert, with tummy warming ginger broth and soft comforting pieces of sweet potatoes. 

Sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. In addition, sweet potatoes — especially the orange and purple varieties — are rich in antioxidants that protect your body from free radicals. So let’s eat more sweet potatoes!      ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ

Ingredients (serve: 3-4)

2-3 sweet potatoes, about 500-600g, peeled, cut into medium chunks 

5 Pandan leaves, knotted

1 thumb-sized ginger, peeled & bruised

60g sugar/brown sugar 

1000ml water

Note: Quantity of ginger and sugar can be adjusted according to personal preference.

Step 3: Add sugar and and adjust the sweetness to your preference. Stir to dissolve completely.
