👨🍳 Інструкції

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Steam them until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are steaming, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Increase the heat to medium and cook without stirring, allowing the sugar mixture to turn a deep amber color. This will take about 5-10 minutes. Watch carefully as it can burn quickly.

Once the caramel reaches the desired color, carefully and slowly pour in the coconut milk. The mixture will bubble vigorously. Stir until the caramel is fully incorporated into the coconut milk.

Add the salt and vanilla extract to the sauce. Simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
