Sweet Potatoes Appetizer with Dinner or with Drinks

Cut the sweet potato into about 1 cm matchsticks and soak in a bowl of water. Drain, and microwave for about 2-3 minutes.

Put the ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil. Add the microwaved sweet potato, and simmer while mixing.

When there's no liquid left in the pan, add 1 teaspoon of mirin for the shine to the potatoes and mix. Sprinkle some black sesame seeds and serve.
