How does the murasaki imo's consistency and texture compare to traditional Sweet Potato Pie coming out of grandma's kitchen here in America?

However, they turned bright green because of a chemical reaction with the bicarbonate soda and the baking powder (both alkaline). Do you have any idea how to overcome this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1128006020096709052005-09-30T00:00:00.000+09:002005-09-30T00:00:00.000+09:00Hi ManisManis,Thanks for your interest.

The only thing I remember is that I added milk until the potato filling felt like a little thick pumpkin pie filling. As for the amount of condensed milk, I guess it was 1 or 2 Tbsp, but not positive.

Maybe Okinawan ones are white outside and purple inside (and a little sweeter)? Dad’s are purple both outside and inside.obachanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146311760014752971noreply@blogger.com
