Asian Sweet Potato Paste - Dieter's Version
- 1/2 large Sweet potato
- 100 grams Tofu (silken)
- 1 to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 80 ml Low fat milk (or soy milk)
- 1 egg's worth Egg yolk
- 1 tsp Condensed milk (optional)
- Carefully wash off the sweet potatoes, wrap them in plastic wrap, and microwave, for about 3 and 1/2 minutes at 500W.
- Peel off the skins while still hot.
- Be careful not to burn yourself.
- Slice them into 2-cm thick slices, add to a food processor with tofu (without draining), low fat milk (or better yet, soy millk ), and maple syrup, then pulse until smooth.
- It's good as is, but it will become even smoother if passed through a strainer.
- Form the leftovers (the size of a large egg) into a ball, paint on a wash of egg white, and bake to make a baked sweet potato confection.
- Great for a bonus snack.
- With the strained paste, add the egg yolk and condensed milk (optional, to taste), mix well, and set on low heat.
- It will burn easily, so stir continuously.
- Remove from heat once the egg has been heated thoroughly enough.
- Transfer to a plastic container, and wrap in plastic wrap directly over the surface to prevent drying.
- Press out any air pockets.
- Once it cools down, chill it in the refrigerator, then it's ready.
