Every time my two girls went to their art lesson for 2 hours, I will utilize this 2 hours slot to get sweat in the gym. This day, I sacrificed my happy hour at gym, I decided to stay at home and play Cooking Mama. I wasn't playing online game, ok. I was really cooking. Ever since they tried the sweet potato balls at Fong Lye Taiwan Cuisine, they started to love it, and I promised to make it for them. I got the recipe from here.
I bought a medium size orange colour flesh sweet potatoes. Peel the skin, cut into cubes, steam it for 30 minutes. Mash it and add in glutinous rice flour, corn flour, sugar, and salt. Mix everything with hands, and knead it well to form a smooth dough.
I rolled about hundred over balls that day without the help of my two girls.
Heat up oil in a wok. Lower the heat to medium or low fire. Don't put in too many balls at a time. They tend to stick together while frying. I put in 10 balls only at one time.
I fried meehun with a can of roasted pork.
Fry until golden brown, remove from fire and serve.
Be cautious of the heat. I almost burned my first batch of potato balls.
When my two girls returned from their art lesson, they indulged in cooking mama's sweet potato balls. They said that it tasted better than Fong Lye one. Cooking mama was at cloud 9. I also offered them the coconut drinks to wash away the heat of the deep fried food. When I checked on them again, they left only 10 balls on the plate for their Papa.
Due to taking too many sweet potato balls, my two girls were half full. I decided to cook something light for dinner.
I also added in carrot and fish balls. If I didn't put in salt, I would be very satisfied with this fried meehun of me.

ReplyDeleteYour sweet potato balls look so yummy! It's my favourite too. Your girls are so lucky to have a Cooking Mama. Pity my Chloe, who only has a Sitting Mama :(
ReplyDeleteWow, you are really a healthy person to be able to omit salt from your diet. But you need to add them or else the girls won't eat the mihun is it? When I had to boil porridge for Ethan, I had to add salt or he won't eat it :(
ReplyDeleteWOW, good job to you. I tried the Fong Lye ones but didn't like them coz I find them too starchy and no sweet potato taste. Yours look good!!

ReplyDeleteThis mommy is really hardworking, not like the mommy who types this comment, a lazy bum! Haha... There's one stall somewhere in Petaling Street and their sweet balls sell like hotcakes, quite good, I must say, though a bit oily to my liking. Yours definitely looks good!
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy..
ReplyDeleteI just saw some sweet potatoes in supermarket this morning and tempted to buy some. Steamed sweet potatoes. But "tak jadi". hahahah!! Yummy sweet potato balls.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you cook the potatoes. I never thought of doing so. It means, the recipe is new to me. I should ask my wife to cook like this then. Hahaha!
