How to make sweet-scented osmanthus purple sweet potato porridge

How to make sweet-scented osmanthus purple sweet potato porridge

A few days ago, I saw a netizen post a picture of purple sweet potatoes, and I was very curious. Because I never seem to see this in the supermarket. Seeing that everyone said it was delicious and sweet, I became more careful. When I went to buy groceries the other day, I carefully studied the potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro and other foods in the place where they were sold. I looked at the appearance and still didn't see any purple sweet potatoes. I looked at the product name labels one by one, and finally saw the words "purple sweet potato". It was not black or purple, so it was really inconspicuous. No wonder I missed it before. I bought it home, peeled it and took a look. It was really purple, but it was pink purple. I like this color very much, and I thought to myself, will it look beautiful when I cook porridge?

Ingredients for Osmanthus Purple Sweet Potato Porridge

Sweet potatoes, rice, a few crystal sugars, dried osmanthus

Steps for making sweet-scented osmanthus purple sweet potato porridge

1. It's very simple. Cut the peeled sweet potatoes into pieces the size of thumb joints. Add enough water to cook porridge at once. Boil the sweet potatoes over high heat, add the washed rice, stir it to prevent sticking, sprinkle a few crystal sugars, and don't touch it anymore.

2. When the pot is boiling again, turn the heat to medium-low and use chopsticks to prop up the pot lid (there is a special picture in one of my "Nina's Home" series, please refer to it.) to keep the pot boiling but not overflowing.

3. After about 30 minutes, a pot of fragrant purple sweet potato porridge is ready. Adding rock sugar to the water instead of just before turning off the fire is my husband's secret. Otherwise, the porridge will become watery.

4. Sprinkle with dried osmanthus flowers. Really, I have never tasted such sweet and mellow sweet porridge!
