We all know that sweet potatoes are a popular food in autumn. They are sweet and delicious, have high nutritional value, and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Many people like to eat them. Many people like to make sweet potato balls at home. The method is relatively simple, but there are certain skills. So how do you fry sweet potato balls to make them softer? Let's take a closer look!

How to fry sweet potato balls to make them softer

There are many ways to make the sweet potato balls softer:

① First of all, even if the sweet potato balls are fried very crispy, if they are not eaten immediately, they will become soft after being left for a period of time. This is because the sweet potato balls are not sealed and will soon become soft due to moisture;

② Secondly, if you shorten the frying time of the sweet potato balls and take them out immediately after frying, they will be very soft without frying until golden brown. Although the frying time is shortened, the sweet potato balls will be cooked through high temperature and will be very soft and delicious.

③In addition, you can also reduce the fire and avoid frying the sweet potato balls over high heat. This way, the sweet potato balls will be much softer than those fried over high heat. Otherwise, they will easily become hard due to over-frying.

Homemade sweet potato meatballs

Ingredients: sweet potatoes, sugar, glutinous rice flour, salad oil

Step 1: Peel and wash the sweet potatoes, then cut them into slices and steam them in a steamer. Mash the steamed sweet potatoes while they are still hot, add sugar and stir until the sugar melts.

Step 2: Add appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and stir into a dough that is soft, smooth and has no holes.

Step 3: Add more salad oil to the pan. When the oil temperature reaches six layers high, grab a soft dough with your left hand, squeeze it into balls from the base of your thumb, and scoop it into the pan with a ceramic spoon.

Step 4: Fry over medium heat until the surface turns golden brown, then drain the oil and remove from the pan.

Tips: It is best to choose sweet potatoes with yellow cores, as they are sweeter, more juicy, and have the best taste. Pour glutinous rice flour in batches and stir into a thin and soft dough, which will have more juicy dough and make the meatballs softer inside. Use a ceramic spoon instead of a stainless steel spoon to scoop the meatballs to avoid burning your hands.

Tips for making sweet potato balls

1. When making sweet potato meatballs, be sure to steam the sweet potatoes until they are cooked thoroughly before taking them out. This way, the sweet potatoes are easier to mash and the meatballs will taste more delicate.

2. The sweet potato balls should not be too big, just a little bigger than ordinary glutinous rice balls. If they are too big, it will take longer to fry them inside. If you want to eat softer sweet potato balls, make them smaller, put them in and fry them for a while, and take them out of the pan as soon as they are cooked.

3. If the sweet potato balls are fried too crispy, it doesn’t matter. They will become soft after leaving them for a while.
