This is tempura made with sweet potatoes and a sesame seed batter. Just by adding sesame seeds, your usual simple sweet potato tempura gets an upgrade! My mother used to make this often. It brings back memories, and I sometimes make sweet potato tempura with sesame seeds myself.

Steps

1

Cut the sweet potato into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Soak in water for about 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
2

Prepare the batter by mixing the tempura flour and water according to the package instructions.
3

Add the measured sesame seeds to the batter and mix lightly.
4

Coat the sweet potato slices in the batter. Fry in oil at 340°F (170°C) for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally. (They're done when a chopstick easily pierces through.)
5

Drain excess oil and arrange on a plate. Enjoy!
