I found a free recipe card at the supermarket with this written on it. I was so surprised! I never knew this dish could be made so easy...

In Step 3, if you wait a little bit before serving, the flavor will be absorbed better... Recipe by Unabara Mitsuko

Steps

1

Wash the sweet potatoes and leave damp. Place on a plate and loosely cover with plastic wrap, then microwave for 2-3 minutes (it's fine if they're still firm at this point).
2

Combine the water and sugar in a pan, then turn on the heat. Boil down to a thick syrup, taking care not to let it burn. (When I make this, it clouds and smokes, but doesn't burn.)
3

Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, and coat the sweet potatoes in the sauce.
