Sweet potatoes are known as "longevity food", have high nutritional value, enhance resistance, immunity, delay aging and lose weight.
Sweet potatoes are considered a superfood, but to steam them well, you need the right method.
There are many ways to prepare sweet potatoes. Boiling sometimes makes the potatoes less sweet and less crumbly, but baking takes time. Steaming ensures the potatoes are sweeter, crumbly, and ready to eat faster, but it also requires a secret. If done right, steamed potatoes are even better than baked potatoes.
First, buy fresh sweet potatoes. Don’t be afraid to choose ones that still have dirt and sand in them, as this will act as a natural protective layer and will keep them for a long time as long as they don’t come into contact with water.
Do not eat immediately after that because the fresh potatoes still have a lot of water, steaming will not be delicious. Leave them in a cool place for a few days to dry. The water will decrease, the sugar content will increase, making the potatoes more fragrant and sweet.
After three to five days, wash the tubers, do not peel them, and use a toothpick to poke a few holes in the surface of the tubers to help them cook faster and more evenly. Then cut off both ends of the tubers.
Many people will cut the sweet potato in half, although it cooks faster, it will absorb too much water and make the potato taste boiled and not delicious. You should only cut off the two ends.
Boil water before putting the potatoes in to steam. High temperature helps the potatoes cook quickly, soften, starch will also quickly convert into sugar. Turn on high heat to boil water, put in the pre-processed potatoes, cover and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Take out to eat, make sure everything is soft, spongy, sweet and fragrant.
In short, you just need to remember three main points: cut off only the two ends; poke a few holes in the potato and steam it in boiling water.
