Sweet Potato Paste Beans

Overview

Paste beans are a unique traditional delicacy in Shandong, and the paste beans made from sweet potatoes are even more delicious. I remember going to school and living on campus, and I most looked forward to the 2 cents a bowl of sweet potato paste beans from the grandfather at the school gate during breakfast time. The bowl may only have sweet potatoes as big as the belly of your finger, but it is extremely delicious when you eat it in your mouth. We are happy now. Paste beans can be made into many kinds, but the most unforgettable one is sweet potato paste beans. The sweetness of sweet potato and the mellowness of peanuts are intertwined to form a delicious and unique taste. It can remind you of your grandma’s stove when you were a child, and the warm scene of the smoke rising from the kitchen stove and the family sitting around the table sharing delicious food.
