Non-Fried but Crispy Candied Sweet Potatoes

I had these candied sweet potatoes at my friend's house.
My friend passed the recipe on to me, and I created this based on that recipe.
If you turn on the heat beforehand and try to lay out the sweet potatoes, the chances of burning the sweet potatoes are very high. Be sure to turn on the heat afterwards!!
The amount of soy sauce depends on your taste, but I like it thick, resembling mitarashi sauce.
The sweet potatoes will be crispier if you use granulated sugar instead of caster sugar. Recipe by aonksa

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop up the sweet potatoes roughly, and soak in a bowl of water.
- 2
Put vegetable oil and granulated sugar in the frying pan, and lay the drained and pat-dried sweet potatoes (do not turn on the heat yet)!!
- 3
Turn on the heat to medium heat, and once the granulated sugar has dissolved, reduce the heat to low, cover with a the lid, then cook for about 5-6 minutes.
- 4
Remove the lid, flip the potatoes over occasionally, and cook them through. As shown in the photo, the surface of the sweet potatoes should be bubbly.
- 5
Tilt the frying pan and absorb any excess oil with a paper towel (it's just a small amount, so you should only need 1-2 sheets of paper towels).
- 6
Roast the sweet potatoes over medium heat, drizzle on soy sauce, then lightly shake the frying pan to coat them, and it's ready.
- 7
Garnish with black sesame seeds, if you like. (I didn't have black sesame seeds, so I used white sesame seeds instead...)
- 8
Note: The cooking time will differ depending on how thick you cut the sweet potatoes. They will cook faster if they're cut into bite-sized pieces, rather than large chunks.

Easy 1-Pot Non-Fried Candied Sweet Potatoes Easy 1-Pot Non-Fried Candied Sweet Potatoes
I love candied sweet potatoes but the labor put into them is disappointing. It's so much trouble to use oil... Omitting the oil and frying makes it easier to make. These are so good as a snack. I can eat half of these right up.Work quickly from Step 5! This is because the sugar could harden. Also, use coarse salt or good tasting salt. After the initial sweetness, the lingering salty taste is really delicious. If you don't have starch water, you can substitute it with 2 heaping tablespoons of sugar.

This is the recipe I've been using for 15 years.Water will collect on the lid, so wipe it off when you remove it. When cooled, the surface will harden like candy. (If it is a hot day, chill in the refrigerator). If you eat the potatoes while hot, you will burn yourself, so be careful. Recipe by annkoronn cookpad.japan -

Delicious Basic Candied Sweet Potatoes Delicious Basic Candied Sweet Potatoes
This is something that I make often at home. There is a way of making them that uses mizuame starch syrup instead, but I just made a basic sauce with ingredients that I already had in my cupboard. They taste great even without soy sauce as well.Since these potatoes have been partially cooked in the microwave beforehand they can be fried quickly and have a crispy outside with a floury inside. Please don't overcook them though or the skin may fall apart.If you prefer your candied sweet potatoes with plenty of sauce, please increase the sauce amounts by 1.5x.
