SWEET POTATO RICE DONUTS
( KOREAN DISH) / ‘Goguma Chapssai’ Donuts
The Thanksgiving break is slowly coming to an end,wanting to try a new dish before the week’s routine started,I was looking around for some ideas for Sunday breakfast in my pantry. The sweet potatoes, I had bought last week stared back at me…..memories of eating boiled sweet potatoes on a rainy day flooded my mind, that’s when I remembered having tasted these Sweet potato donuts which a Korean Mom had brought for all of us in my kid’s Taekwondo class.While I sat on the sidelines and watched my kid train with his Taekwondo Master, in his 5 year old frame, I learnt a few moves myself from the Korean moms who brought their children for the training too, one of them was a peek into their kind of cooking.At the end of every month the kids had to compete with other groups of Taekwondo trainers across town, and the winners would be awarded “the belt” from the Grand Master.Just like my kid, I looked forward for these events, when they broke bricks & tiles & contested against the masters, as a kid I used to be a big Bruce Lee fan, so this was another kind of martial art that captivated my kid & me alike.On those days of the big events there would be breakfast & coffee for all present,the parents could contribute their share of the potluck, it’s in one of those events, I had tasted this donut called ‘Goguma Chapssai’ in Korean.They were yummy, vegan and filling with the right amount of sweet & fiber and what’s more had all the health benefits of the sweet potato , so this morning I set about preparing these donuts for breakfast, now that holiday season is here, a little indulgence with food is a given 🙂
The preparation itself takes about 20 minutes from start to finish, baking was an option, though I was told the taste differs a lot when compared to deep frying,since it was sweater season already, I decided a little indulgence can do no harm, did I not get that extra large sweaters which was on sale ?? 😉 🙂 …all for good measure !!

Enjoy your weekend breakfast or an evening snack with a Korean twist to your regular donuts 🙂
Spread the holiday cheer one donut at a time 😉
