How to choose good sweet potatoes
- Usually, good sweet potatoes are round or elongated, without any dents, and when gently squeezed, they are not too hard, which indicates they are less fibrous, starchy, and very sweet.
- You should buy sweet potatoes that have a layer of powder or dirt on them. When cutting a thin slice from the end of the sweet potato, you will see a light orange color and sap flowing out.
- Do not buy sweet potatoes that show signs of sprouting, have a bumpy surface, many holes, are cracked, or have pests.

How to prepare Sweet Potato Noodles

Prepare sweet potatoes
First, wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then use a peeler to remove the skin and soak the potatoes in a bowl of diluted saltwater for 5 minutes.
Next, use a grater to shred the sweet potatoes into small strands, then soak the shredded potatoes in a bowl of diluted saltwater for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse them thoroughly and let them drain.
Tip: If you use yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes, the dish will be tastier compared to other types of sweet potatoes.

Mix the batter
We will put 100g of flour, 150g of crispy flour, 4 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt into a bowl and mix well. Next, we add 50ml of coconut milk, 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 200ml of filtered water, and then use a whisk or a spoon to stir until the batter dissolves and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
-
Fried Cake
We heat up a pan on the stove, add a bit more cooking oil so that the oil covers the cake and bring the oil to a boil. When the oil is boiling, we will use a large ladle to scoop some batter, then pick up a bit of sweet potato and place it on the ladle and mix it to coat the sweet potato with a thin layer of batter.
Next, we will add the sweet potato and batter to fry over medium heat until the cake is golden brown on both sides, then remove the cake to a sieve to let the cake drain off the oil.
Tip: The thinner the batter layer, the crispier the fried cake will be. So you should try to put all the sweet potato strands into the bowl of batter, mix well and use a slotted ladle to scoop the sweet potato, this way the excess batter will drip down less and ensure the sweet potato is coated with just the right amount of thin batter.

Final Product
The fried sweet potato strands are golden and crispy, so it’s best to enjoy them while they are still hot. The cake has a moderate sweetness, and you can feel the sweet taste of the sweet potato, combined with the rich aroma of coconut milk that is very delightful.
