Sweet potatoes are not for everyone.

Patients with diarrhea and diabetics should not eat sweet potatoes. People with stomach ailments should not eat too much to avoid bloating. Middle-aged and elderly people can appropriately eat some sweet potato steamed buns. Everyone has eaten steamed buns, but you may not have necessarily eaten steamed buns made with sweet potatoes. This kind of bun is much tastier than white flour steamed buns and is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.

The method for making sweet potato steamed buns is very simple. First, wash the sweet potatoes you bought, peel them, steam (or boil) them until cooked, then mash them thoroughly. Add an equal amount of flour to the sweet potatoes and a certain amount of water, and mix well. If it is during the summer and autumn seasons, the mixed dough will naturally ferment in about half a day. At this point, you can steam it using the usual method for making steamed buns. When the temperature is lower, yeast or a dough starter can be added to the dough to help with fermentation.
