Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 kg / 2.2 lb sweet potato
- 60 g / 0.1 lb ginger ((or to preference))
- 100 g / 0.22 brown sugar slab ((or to taste))
- 1 1/2 L / 6.3 US cup water
Instructions
- 1
Smash the ginger using the flat side of a meat mallet or a large flat knife like a cleaver.
- 2
Peel then cut the sweet potatoes into large chunks. You can either slice it down cleanly or wedge the cleaver 1/3 of the way in and break the rest off. By doing the latter technique, you'll create more texture for every bite.

Bring the water to a boil and add the sweet potatoes and ginger. Let it simmer for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Add the brown sugar slabs in and let it cook for another 5 minutes or until the ingredients have softened to preference.
