Purple Sweet Potato with Black Glutinous Rice Soup (紫薯黑糯甜汤)

I was craving for this delicious and nutritious dessert from a vegetarian stall that I frequent often. I went to the supermarket and was elated when I managed to find the main ingredients to make this for myself and my family in order to satisfy my cravings.

 

It was a fun 'experimenting' and gauging the proportions and I'm a happy woman at the end of it!

Purple Sweet Potato with Black Glutinous Rice Soup (紫薯黑糯甜汤)

Ingredients:

100g black glutinous rice, washed and soaked overnight to soften

5 cups water

450g purple sweet potato, peeled and cut into smaller chunks

120g brown sugar (to taste)

Method:

1. Put the black glutinous rice and knotted pandan leaves into a pot and add in 6 cups of water. (6 cups water include the water that was used to soak the rice overnight)

2. Bring to boil let it simmer while stirring once in a while.
