You can also use plastic wrap to squeeze the paste to create pretty shapes!

Steps

1

Peel the sweet potato thickly with a vegetable peeler until all parts are a nice even color (until imperfections are removed). Cut into 2cm cubes.
2

Place in a microwave-safe bowl, and soak in water. Cut the candied chestnuts in half.
3

Gently rinse the sweet potatoes and drain. Add salt and hot water, cover lightly with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 7-8 minutes.
4

Test the sweet potatoes with a toothpick. If it can be inserted easily, drain the hot water. Gently mash the sweet potatoes with a pestle or rolling pin.
5

Add the sugar and syrup from the chestnuts, and gently stir the mixture with a rolling pin.
6

Add the chestnuts and microwave uncovered at 600W for 4 minutes.
7

Gently combine until even. Heat again in the microwave at 600W for 3 1/2-4 minutes, and it's done.
