📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Vietnamese chè is a warm or cold dessert of beans, tubers, tapioca, and more cooked in coconut milk syrup. In the spirit of Japanese oshiruko, this creative version uses only sweet, starchy Japanese sweet potato. It's delicious warm or chilled. Ingredients are kept to a minimum so it can be made with things you're likely to have at home.
