Black Sesame Tangyuan and Tri-colours sweet potatoes ginger syrup 三色番薯黑芝麻汤圆

This will be my last post of year 2015. Just to update a new Tangyuan recipe that i prepared on Dongzi festival.




I prefer to prepare all ingredients separately so the dessert soup tasted refresh but not too thick.

Method

  2. For the potatoes, place them on a steaming tray, steam till half cooked (~3-5mins). Set aside.
