Sweet Potato Soup (Sweet)

Do you know that the rice cooker is so 'multi-purpose'? It's not just for cooking rice, you can use it for steamboat too. But today, first time ever, I used it to cook 'sweet potato' soup. Fill the rice cooker with water, switch on the power and wait for it to boil. Meanwhile, just prepare the ginger - you have to bruise it after removing the skin. For the sweet potatos - remove the skin and cut it into small cubes. Remember to place the potato in a bowl of water, with water covering it otherwise, it will turn black.

Ok, when water starts to boil, put in the ginger and let it boil for 5 minutes. Add rock sugar (amount depending how sweet you want the soup to be) to the boiling water and once the sugar is dissolved, you can then add the sweet potato. Depending on how you want the 'texture' of the sweet potato, I like it a bit hard but some prefers it to be cooked until very soft. So after about 5 minutes, remove one piece of the sweet potato and test the 'softness' using a fork. Remember that even after switching off the power, the cooker will remain hot for a little while and this heat will continue to cook the sweet potato.

It's very easy and simple. It takes less than 30 minutes to cook it. Try it some time!

And in case you don't know, sweet potato is a vegetable.
