Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Boil them in a pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Sweet Potatoes

    Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix the Filling

    Add brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

Dough Preparation

  1. 4

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 5

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the foamy yeast mixture and vegetable oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 6

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 7

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Assembling and Frying

  1. 8

    Roll the Dough

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.

  2. 9

    Add the Filling

    Place a spoonful of the sweet potato filling in the center of each dough circle.

  3. 10

    Seal the Rolls

    Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal tightly.

  4. 11

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  5. 12

    Fry the Rolls

    Carefully place the sealed rolls in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side.

  6. 13

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried rolls from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
