Purple sweet potato rice balls (sugar water)

Purple sweet potato rice balls (sugar water)

Overview

Ever since I ate taro ball rice dumplings in Xiamen a few years ago, I have never forgotten them. But the ones in Shenzhen are not only expensive, but there are very few rice balls in one portion, so I might as well make it myself😊 Since this is my first time, I will try it with purple sweet potatoes today! I won’t write much about the sugar water part. You can mix different sugar water according to your personal preference, such as: coconut milk sago water, brown sugar ginger syrup, or even milk tea😁😁
