3-INGREDIENT SWEET POTATO OATY HASH BROWNS

I love potato hash browns... I guess most people do, but sweet potato hash browns? WOW. And it's so easy!! Since this is for my LO's lunch, I made them more filling by adding oats :D Let me just say "You're welcome" because these are soooo good! :P If you've never tried sweet potato hash browns, give it a try. I think you'll like them too. The great thing about this recipe is that it's perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 

 PS: Some people say white potatoes contain anti-nutrients like saponins that can be harmful. Sweet potatoes don't contain those substances, so it's healthier. Oh well. To me, just take everything in moderation. 
Pardon the ugly 'hearts'... Guess it was hard without a paring knife -_-"
I'm not really good at making food art... I do try from time to time. Was super delighted to see LO's happy face as she pointed and said, "Heart", "Eyes", "Mouth", "Nice" and "Yummy!"


Ingredients:


  • 1 medium-sized Japanese sweet potato, steamed
  • 2 tbsp quick/steel cut oats
  • 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese
  • Coconut oil, for pan frying


  1. Peel and mash half the sweet potato. Dice the other half.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the diced sweet potato, oats, shredded cheese and mashed sweet potato together.
  3. Heat oil in a pan. Drop in sweet potato 'cakes' in about 2-3 tablespoon batches. Flatten them slightly and pan-fry til both sides turn golden brown.

YACON SOUP WITH CORN AND CARROT

Was shopping at the usual supermarket recently when I saw a lady promoting something which, from far, looked like sweet potatoes to me. I didn't pay attention to her til she called out to me and handed me a piece to sample. She was promoting organic yacons, not sweet potato. The moment I put it into my mouth, I remembered eating this looong time ago, but because I seldom see it in the supermarkets, I had totally forgotten about such a thing.  The yacon is a traditionally grown for its crisp, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots. Though the root looks like a   sweet potato, the taste and texture are completely different. Its crispy texture, juiciness and mildly sweet taste makes it somewhat similar to water chestnut or snow pear. It can be eaten raw or cook. It is said that yacon  is very high in fiber and low in calories which makes it a healthy and nutritious snack.   Some of the health benefits of yacon include its ability to regulate blood sugar ...

LEAN'S @ ATRIA SHOPPING GALLERY

Tong sui are a Cantonese specialty. If you've grown up in a Cantonese family, you must have had tong sui before. The term 'tong sui' literally means 'sugar water'. It is a collective term for any sweet, warm soup or custard served as a dessert at the end of a meal in Cantonese cuisine. My dad is a huge fan of tong sui : red bean soup, peanut soup, barley ginkgo and black sesame soup being his favorite. I'm not really a tong sui person but I remember seeing this Lean's place in Atria that sells a variety of desserts, including tong sui , nyonya kuihs and light meals, so I brought my dad there to try when my parents came over. It was afternoon teatime when we arrived. We were feeling a little hungry, so we ordered 2 nasi lemak bungkus, a cucur udang, steam cakes for my LO, black sesame cream, barley ginkgo and bubur cha cha. Nasi Lemak bungkus (RM3.70). Cucur udang (RM3). Pandan and vanilla steam cake (RM1.50 each). Nasi lemak is a famous lo...
