How to Make Old Hanoi Sweet Potato And Ginger Pudding Ch Khoai Lan

  1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Grate the ginger.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweet potatoes, grated ginger, sugar, coconut milk, water, and salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily mashed.
  4. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. The pudding should thicken as it simmers.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, use a potato masher or fork to partially mash them, leaving some texture.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed. You may want to add a bit more sugar depending on your preference and the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and texture (optional).
  8. Enjoy your delicious and authentic Old Hanoi Sweet Potato & Ginger Pudding!
