Sweet potato dumplings

Overview

Sweet potatoes have become cheaper and cheaper recently, less than 2 yuan per pound. Our family always eats this whole grain once a week. It is usually cut into pieces and put into porridge, or steamed directly in a rice cooker. That is the simplest and most convenient. I was afraid that my husband would say that I am too lazy after eating too much, so I had no choice but to make sweet potato dumplings like my mother-in-law. It is a little more troublesome, but it is not too technically difficult

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes and put them in a steamer to steam (the two sweet potatoes were sliced and there were too many, so I forgot to take pictures, so I took a few unpeeled slices to take a new photo) (I peeled them after steaming, but it’s not easy to operate. I’ll peel them first and then steam them next time)

  4. Pour the dough back and forth between your hands to make it smoother, and then use the tiger's mouth to squeeze out a round shape. It doesn't need to be too regular

  5. The oil pan is filled with oil. I didn’t put a pan of oil in the hotel for deep-frying. It’s better to save some oil if you do it at home

  6. Tilt the oil pan so that the oil is concentrated on one side. Put the dumplings one by one. Since there is not much oil, put 10 dumplings at a time. After frying the pan, take it out and put in 10 dumplings for frying
