Fried Nian Gao Ball 年糕番薯球

on

Since I have some leftover sweet potato puree, so I decided to make these delicious fried nian gao balls. 

Gradually add in water to the dough, until you get a smooth dough which is not too hard or too soft dough. Flour absorbency may vary, so don't add water all at once! I add in water with a spoon.

The size of nian gao ball is depend on the size of the nian gao cube. If bigger cube of nian gao, so you will need to use more dough.

I made it with all my leftover orange sweet potatoes.  So, you can use the same recipe as purple sweet potato nian gao ball ya!
