Steamed Purple Sweet Potato Milk Pudding

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cut the purple sweet potato into small pieces. Steam until very tender.

2. 2

   Transfer the steamed purple sweet potato to a bowl and mash it thoroughly until smooth.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, gently heat the milk and granulated sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg whites and salt. Gradually pour the cooled milk mixture into the egg whites, stirring gently to combine without creating too many bubbles.

5. 5

   Strain the egg and milk mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any lumps or froth, ensuring a smooth pudding.

6. 6

   Add the mashed purple sweet potato to the strained milk mixture and stir until well combined and smooth.

7. 7

   Divide the purple sweet potato milk mixture into heatproof ramekins or small bowls.

8. 8

   Place the ramekins in a steamer. Cover the steamer lid with a cloth to prevent condensation from dripping onto the pudding. Steam over medium-low heat until the puddings are just set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

9. 9

   Carefully remove the puddings from the steamer and let them cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator before serving.
