Fried & Glazed Japanese Sweet Potato

Wash Sweet Potato and cut into bite-size pieces. Soak in water for 10 minutes to remove starch, drain, and dry well. *Note: This process can be skipped.

Sweet Potato pieces need to be fried twice. First fry them in medium hot Oil (150-160℃) for 5 minutes OR until a skewer can be inserted, and transfer to a rack.

Heat the Oil to relatively hot (180℃) and fry Sweet Potato pieces again for a few minutes OR until outside is crusty. Transfer to the rack to drain the Oil.

Place Sugar and Mirin (OR Water) in a frying pan or large saucepan, and bring to the simmer. When it is bubbly, add Soy Sauce, and remove from heat. Add Sweet Potato and Sesame Seeds, and mix to combine.

Spread them over a sheet of baking paper to cool, OR enjoy them warm.
