Can you ask about how difficult it is to go back to work? Su Su's shivering from the cold, a gust of wind made her shiver.

Watching colleagues occasionally press their hands against their thighs, it's a bit like being back in a classroom without air conditioning, haha.

When you're cold, you just want to hold something warm in your hands, like roasted sweet potatoes and fried chestnuts. If it were up to the babies, which would they choose? Roasted sweet potatoes or fried chestnuts?

Haha, only children would choose that, I'll take them all! So today, I combined them both to make a sweet potato and chestnut cake!

This sweet potato and chestnut cake is super easy, beyond your wildest imagination! Steam it, mix it, and then bake it – all in one go~

Since it doesn't need flour and water, it's best to choose sweet and moist varieties for the sweet potato, otherwise it won't be easy to form and will be smooth and melt-in-your-mouth

If the sweet potatoes you buy are dry, adding milk and some butter will help improve the texture. I recommend full-fat milk because the milk flavor is stronger

Add milk slowly until the sweet potato is no longer dry and can form a dough

As for the chestnuts, boil them until softened and then chop them into pieces – one is to distinguish them from the sweet potato puree, and two is to add more texture

I also spent a lot of effort brushing it with egg yolk and then sprinkling it with sesame seeds, and arranging it in a beautiful dish

Chewy texture, sweet taste, eating a few pieces during work hours to relieve boredom, unknowingly it's also nourishing – it's wonderful!
