Purple potato and red bean balls

Overview

Teach you how to make a snack with purple sweet potato, the appearance is as amazing as the taste. The good appearance of purple sweet potato has always been one of the main reasons why everyone likes it. In fact, its nutrient content and health care effects are even more amazing. Purple sweet potato is rich in antioxidant anthocyanins, which can also protect eyes, liver, and blood vessels. Today I recommend a snack made from purple sweet potatoes, paired with heart-raising red beans for a nutritional upgrade. When making this snack, purple sweet potatoes can be steamed, boiled, or baked, but each method requires a different amount of flour due to different water contents. You need to master this yourself. Although the dough is soft but not sticky, it is smooth and easy to shape. If you want the finished product to be more colorful, add some acidic condiments, such as lemon juice. I made it in an empty fryer this time because it saves time and matures quickly. If you don’t have an empty fryer, you can also place it in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes. Or microwave in grill mode, or fry. Anyway, it’s up to you to do whatever is convenient for you. Of course, the finished product produced by each method will be slightly different.
