Curl your fingers into a claw shape when cutting sweet potatoes with a kitchen knife to avoid cutting your fingers.

Prepare two sweet potatoes weighing about 280 grams after peeling, and cut them into thin slices.

Watch out

Sweet potato slices must be cut to an even thickness, otherwise uneven heating during steaming will cause some parts to be overcooked and others undercooked.

After letting it cool to lukewarm, crack in 1 egg, then add 4 grams of yeast and 15 grams of white sugar, and mix well.

Watch out

The sweet potato puree must cool to lukewarm before adding yeast, otherwise high temperatures will kill the yeast and prevent fermentation.

The plastic wrap must completely seal the bowl opening, otherwise the surface of the batter will dry out and form a crust, affecting fermentation.

Be careful of hot steam and oil splatters when brushing oil or pouring batter onto a heated pan.

Preheat the electric griddle or pan on low heat and brush with oil, pour in the batter (thickness can be adjusted to preference), sprinkle sesame seeds on top for aroma, and cover with the lid.

Once the bottom is set and changed color, drizzle oil on top and flip. Fry the other side until colored and flip again. If you like a crispier crust, fry a bit longer.

warningStay safe

The inside of the freshly cooked sweet potato pancake is extremely hot, be careful not to burn your mouth when slicing or eating.

Fry both sides until golden and crispy, then remove from heat. Cut into small pieces and enjoy. The crust is crispy while the inside is soft and chewy, with a rich sweet potato aroma and slight sweetness. Best of all, it doesn't mind being cool; it gets even chewier and tastier as it cools.
