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 love sweet potatoes, use 2.

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

I posted this for my own reference. This recipe comes from a distant relative. I had the pleasure of having some with them, so I asked for the recipe and now I make this often with my added touches.Adding the mirin at the end gives a glazed finish. The meat is tender when done.In Step 1, it's best to cook both sides of the meat. Be careful, though, because if you overcook it, the meat is going to be tough.In Step 3, simmer it on a very low heat setting.I made my drop lid out of aluminum foil, so I made a hole in the center of it.

I thought up a side dish for bentos using the leftover eggplant in my refrigerator. For some reason, my grandmother back in my hometown really loves this eggplant dish, so whenever I visit home, I buy a lot of eggplant and make this for her.These also taste delicious if deep-fried and then simmered. They are slightly sweet. If you're not a fan of the sweet taste, you can make them without sugar and then adjust with sugar at the end. This time I only used eggplant, but it also goes well with pork. Recipe by Hotochan mama
