Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: 180g purple sweet potato, 200g flour, 200g water, 3g yeast, a few jujubes

   

2. 2 Peel the purple sweet potato, cut into slices, steam in cold water for 15 minutes.

   

3. 3 After the purple sweet potatoes are steamed, take them out and add a little water to the yeast to activate the yeast. This step can be omitted in summer because yeast is very active when the temperature is high.

   

4. 4 Put the remaining water and purple sweet potato into a food processor and puree the purple sweet potato.

   

5. 5 After beating, add the purple sweet potato puree to the flour, and add the yeast water to the flour, stir evenly, and the final batter will be thick.

   

6. 6 I used a 6-inch cake mold and brushed a layer of oil on the bottom and sides of the mold to make it easier to remove from the mold. 🌻Tip: You can choose the mold you like, any one that can withstand steaming.

   

7. 7 Pour in the batter and spread it evenly with a spoon.

   

8. 8 Cover with plastic wrap and ferment at room temperature in summer. It only needs to double in height and can be reached in half an hour. 🌻Tips: Some people ask, if I leave it longer, will it become softer? The fermentation will end when it doubles in height. If it continues to ferment, it will have a sour taste and the finished product will not taste good.

   

9. 9 Decorate with a few jujubes and steam in cold water for 25 minutes. After steaming, simmer for 5 minutes before opening the lid.

   

10. 10 It is very convenient to use as a staple food, as a snack, or to carry when going out. Among all fermented pastas, it is the simplest. It saves a lot of time without kneading the dough, and has the highest success rate.

    

11. 11 Look at its holes. Compared with cakes, they are larger. They are destined to be less delicate than cakes and have a more solid texture.

    

12. 12 It does not require oil or sugar, is healthier than cake, and is more filling. If it were as delicate as cake, it wouldn't be called "Fa Gao".
