Steps to Make Purple Sweet Potato Clear Dumpling Dessert
Step 1: Wash and peel the purple sweet potatoes, then boil or steam until tender.
Step 2: Boil the peanuts until they are soft.
Step 3: Divide the clear dumpling flour (or tapioca starch) into 2 portions in separate bowls. Slowly pour boiling water into one bowl of flour (note to add water gradually to avoid making the flour sticky), use chopsticks to stir evenly. Add 30g of sugar, then continue to knead the dough into a smooth, elastic mass. You can shape it into round balls.
Step 4: Take small portions of the dough, press it flat, add peanuts in the middle, fold the dough to seal the peanuts, and then shape it into a round ball.

Step 5: Put sweet potatoes into a blender and blend until smooth with a little water (blend immediately after boiling and while the sweet potatoes are still hot).
Step 6: Gradually add the blended sweet potatoes to the remaining flour mixture. Add 30g of sugar, knead into a smooth and elastic dough, similar to the white dough.
Step 7: Knead a small amount of purple dough, then add peanuts in the center and repeat the process as done with the white dough.
Step 8: In this sweet potato crystal dumpling soup recipe, pour water into a pot along with the remaining sugar, bring to a boil, then gently drop the purple and white dumplings into the pot.
Step 9: Boil until the dumplings float on the surface like floating cakes. When the white dumplings change color, add a bit of finely sliced ginger, then turn off the heat.

The chilled sweet potato crystal dumpling soup, with a faint aroma of fresh ginger, has a sweet and refreshing taste. The chewiness of the dumplings comes from the outer layer of starchy goodness enveloping the rich and nutty peanuts.
