Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, cut off the ends, and slice them into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces. Soak in water. Use thinner sweet potatoes for easier eating.
- 2
Place the sweet potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Although I use a small pot, a larger pot might be easier.
- 3
Bring the pot to a boil, then slightly reduce the heat and add the sugar, honey, and lemon juice. Adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar or honey if desired.
- 4
Cover with a piece of parchment or kitchen paper and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Adjust the time based on the size of the sweet potatoes.
- 5
Since lemon juice is used, cover with paper instead of aluminum foil. Feel free to add more lemon juice to taste.
- 6
When the sweet potatoes are tender enough to be pierced with a skewer, turn off the heat and let them cool to absorb the flavors.
- 7
If the liquid doesn't reduce enough with the paper lid, remove it to allow the liquid to evaporate. The liquid needs to reduce to enhance the sweetness.
- 8
If the sweet potatoes are soft but the liquid hasn't reduced, remove the sweet potatoes first.
- 9
Reduce the liquid further, then pour it over the sweet potatoes to let them absorb the flavor.
- 10
This dish can be used in bento boxes, as a side dish, or as a snack. Even if you make a large batch, my younger child finishes it quickly (laughs).
- 11
Sweet potatoes dry out easily, so store them in the cooking liquid and dip them in the liquid before serving.
- 12
If making for children under one year old, omit the honey.
