Easy Recipe 2: Autumn Sweet Potatoes
It is getting cool outside in Japan. Summer is almost over and we started to enjoy autumnal food. One of my favourite dessert is 'Sweet Potatoes'. Not only does it taste delicious, but also it is a healthy dessert.
Here is how:
1) Cut the sweet potatoes into 1 centimetre cubes, then soak them in water. Leave it for 5 minutes.
2) Put the sweet potatoes in a pot, and add a little sugar and the milk. The milk should slightly cover the sweet potatoes.
3) Boil them until sweet potatoes are soften enough to be mashed.
4) Mash the sweet potatoes and cool them down for about 10 minutes.
5) Add only the egg white and mix them together.
6) Round the sweet potatoes into oval shape, brush egg yellow on top, and bake them in an oven until the surface turns slightly brown.

Hi Lisa,
Just some comments on your writing:
(1) You started enjoying autumnal food a while ago and you are still enjoying it now. We use present perfect tense (i.e. have started) to describe something that started in the past and is still ongoing now.
(2) You used "One of the" which means that you are focusing on one of the many types of desserts that you enjoy.
(3) There is a hyphen between "one" and "centimetre" as both words are adjectives describing the dimensions of the cube. "one-centimetre" is an example of a compound adjective.
(4) The word "and" comes between the second last step (i.e. add a little sugar) and the last step (i.e. milk). As you are just referring to milk as a common substance instead of a specific kind of milk, the definite article "the" is unnecessary.
Another example :To make salt water, add some salt to the water and stir.
(5) I took the liberty to add a [sentence] for you as I presume you will be performing the rounding action many times to prepare a batch of oval-shaped mashed sweet potatoes.
* We "soften" sweet potatoes by doing something to make it less hard (e.g. Soften the sweet potatoes (Make the sweet potatoes less hard) by boiling them in water.). After we have "softened" the sweet potatoes (After we have made the sweet potatoes less hard) , the sweet potatoes are "soft" (not hard).
I hope this helps.
