Sweet Potato Soup

Method

  1. Peel 200 g of sweet potato and cut it into rough 2-3 cm chunks, trimming any fibrous ends. Rinse the chunks in cold water to wash off surface starch, which keeps the finished syrup clear, and drain.
  2. Slice 15 g of unpeeled ginger into thin coins and bruise them lightly with the flat of the knife to release the aroma. Knot 1 of pandan leaf, if using.
  3. Put 400 ml of water into a small saucepan with the ginger and the knotted pandan leaf. Bring to the boil over high heat, then lower to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, until the water smells strongly of ginger.
