I had a lot of sweet potatoes, so I wanted use them to make a dish for dinner.
It was so delicious that I even regretted not adding more.

If you cook sweet potatoes for too long, they will disintegrate. They are ready to eat when they turn a pretty yellow color.
I added sugar because I ran out of honey. You can just use one or the other.
But adding both made the dish very tasty. Recipe by Yusase mama

1

Sprinkle salt, pepper and sake on the chicken, and rub in. Chop the sweet potato into bite-sized pieces, and soak in water.
2

Pour a small amount of oil in a frying pan, and stir-fry the chicken. When it's lightly browned, add the sweet potato, and continue stir-frying until the sweet potato turns slightly yellow.
3

Add water, all the flavoring ingredients and boiled eggs, then bring to a boil.
4

Cover the pan with aluminium foil (right on top of the pan ingredients), and simmer slowly while stirring occasionally.
5

When the sweet potato is cooked through, it's done.
