The Easiest Way to Peel Sweet Potatoes
Weekend Garden Adventures & Simple Veggie Tips: Effortlessly Peeling Sweet Potatoes
Today, I ventured out to my brother-in-law’s fantastic garden, helped tie up Napa cabbage for kimchi preparation, and harvested a bounty of fresh vegetables. Join me as I share a little slice of my weekend life and a super handy trick for dealing with sweet potatoes!
Main Vegetables- Freshly harvested radish greens
- Hearty Napa cabbage leaves
- Vibrant spinach
- Plump sweet potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Preparing Dried Radish Greens (Siraegi) & Dehydrated Greens: First, boil the thoroughly cleaned radish greens and Napa cabbage leaves until tender. Once cooked, portion them into manageable sizes and freeze. This way, you can easily prepare delicious ‘siraegi’ dishes or other dehydrated green vegetable meals anytime.
Step 2
Getting Spinach Ready for Dehydration: Briefly blanch the fresh spinach in boiling water. After blanching, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Then, spread the spinach evenly in a basket or on a rack, allowing it to dry in the sun or a well-ventilated area.
Step 3
Drying and Enjoying Dehydrated Spinach: If dried properly, your spinach will become crisp and ready in about 3-4 days, transforming into a delicious dehydrated green. This tasty ‘mooknamul’ is especially wonderful when stir-fried with sesame oil during holidays or special occasions – a true culinary delight!
Step 4
Effortless Sweet Potato Peeling!: Tired of struggling with sweet potato peels? Here’s a game-changer! Lightly score the skin of the sweet potatoes with a knife before boiling them. Once cooked, the skins will slip off effortlessly, almost like magic, with a gentle nudge. Enjoy your warm, perfectly peeled sweet potatoes with ease!
