Sugar is a seemingly inconspicuous condiment. This sweet condiment has a higher status in the hearts of Chaoshan people. Chaoshan was a major sugar-producing area in the past. It has a long history of sugar-growing and sugar production until the production team disbanded. Although sugarcane is no longer producing sugar, its love for sugar is still unabated. In this previously abundant sugar-producing area, there will naturally be a lot of sugar products, snacks, etc. Every year, all kinds of sugar products will be used to worship the gods and ancestors to express people’s yearning for a sweet and beautiful life. They are made with sugar. Dishes include anti-sand, simmered and other dishes, and wedding banquets will also include these sugar-made dishes, which have their meaning so sweet and sweet.
Today I will bring you a dish that is simmered. The word 滒 means juicy and sticky. The dishes are cooked with thick syrup. This traditional dish used to have a lot of sugar and only a little water. But now people are pursuing a healthier diet, and the sugar content has decreased a lot. Now a pound of food is half a pound of sugar. "

Braised Purple Potato Yam

1. The ingredients, the purple sweet potato and yam are peeled and changed into a knife. The yam is cut into a hob shape. The purple sweet potato is cut irregularly. The size should be about the same as the yam. The ingredients must be cooked at the same time. The yam purple sweet potato should be soaked in salt water to prevent oxidation.

2. Take a pot of water and add a little sugar and a little oil.

3. When cooking the syrup, stir it a lot to prevent the sugar from sticking to the pan.

4. After the syrup is boiled, add purple sweet potato yam. Originally, the ingredients for simmered dishes were marinated in sugar for 2 to 3 hours in advance, but the purple sweet potato and yam would oxidize and turn black, so I didn’t marinate them.

5. After boiling the syrup on high heat, add the shredded mandarin cakes. The cooking process should also be stirred from time to time to prevent sticking. The mandarin cakes have a unique fragrance and should not be cooked too early.

6. Just cook it on medium heat, and the cooking time will be longer if the ingredients are larger.

7. When the syrup is thicker and will make a gurgling sound, add the fried cashew nuts and stir evenly.

8. Sprinkle coriander and stir-fried sesame seeds in the pot.

9. It's served.

10. The sweet and sweet roasted purple potato yam is delicious 😊

11. One more piece.

Tips:
①The yam and purple sweet potato should be processed quickly, and immediately after changing the knife, soak it in salt water to prevent oxidation and blackening.
②The tangerine cake is a special product of our place. It has a unique fragrance and can add fragrance to the dishes, so it should not be cooked too early.
③The crispy cashew nut praline wraps up to become crispy and sweet, which can only be cooked at the end, and other nuts can be used instead.
④ Sprinkle coriander and sesame seeds immediately after the pot. The heat of the vegetable can force the aroma of coriander and sesame seeds at the same time.
