This Vietnamese dessert is sweet, warming and a bit gooey ! Its very nice and simple, flavorful too. Got this recipe when I went on a cooking course in Hanoi and this was the dessert of the four dishes I made.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring the water to the boil, and put in the sweet potato.
  2. 2
    When the water returns to the boil, add the ginger, and continue cooking until the potato is tender and cooked through.
  3. 3
    Add sugar and a little arrow starch, and allow it to dissolve completely. Then remove from the heat. Serve hot.
  4. 4
    P.S. If you're going to Hanoi, I really recommend this course ! http://www.hanoi-cooking.com/tip.html.

After reading the other review, I cut the sugar in half. It was perfect! Not having arrowrot, I used cornstarch. I should have known to dissolve it in a bit of cold water first, lol. Everybody liked this!! I minced the ginger. There were "little sparkly bites" all through it as dh said. I wonder if the recipe says to add sliced ginger so it can be removed later? Even THE PICKY ONE liked this. With just 1/2c sugar! And I wish it had gotten smoother. Made for the Chinese/Vietnamese New Year Tag.

    As a hot thick sauce it was good enough, with a hint of sweet ginger in it, but later on as the water continued to slowly evaporate and turned to pudding, the sweetness intensified that even my DH wouldn't eat it. I really wanted to like this but I'm just so sorry that it didn't work for us. I suggest lessening the sugar in it and making clear how thick the consistency should be. Thanks anyway for letting us try this recipe.
