I have a craving for something sweet. Remember this dish I watched on a Korean cooking show long time ago. I don’t remember exactly the recipe. What I am sharing with you is based on my experiment. It tastes good to me and after the syrup cooled off, it didn’t crystallized. So I guess it is relatively successful.

Steps

1

Peel sweet potato. Cut into irregular pieces.
2

Put oil in frying pan. Heat up oil on medium high heat. After about 5 to 6 minutes. Test oil with chopsticks (thermometer if you have).
3

Put half of cut sweet potato in, fry until golden brown. About 8 to 12 minutes. Fry the last batch.
4

Put paper towel on a plate. Remove sweet potato onto plate.
5

In a sauce pan. Put sugar, Olli Go Dang and water. Put on medium heat. Bring to boil. Do not stir. Lower heat a little bit. Boil for 2 minutes. Get a chopstick, stick into syrup. Lift chopstick up, the last drop of syrup should stick to the chopstick.
6

Add fried sweet potato to syrup. Mix gently sweet potato and syrup to evenly coat the sweet potato.
7

Transfer to plate. Sprinkle some black sesame seeds/ white sesame seeds (optional).

If you have extra syrup. Keep it. In a few days, I will share with you my Egg Rolls recipe. You can fry the extra egg roll sheets and drizzle the syrup on them. 😋
