I went digging for sweet potatoes and ended up with a bunch, so I'm currently re ing a variety of sweet potato dishes.

You can save on frying oil by heating up only a small amount and turning over the pieces while frying. Recipe by Ponie

Steps

1

Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes, since you will be using the entire potato, including the skin. Chop roughly, then soak in water for about 20 minutes to remove the bitterness.
2

Wipe off the excess water with a paper towel, then deep fry in 170℃ oil until crisp.
3

The potatoes will turn golden brown, as shown. If you can pass a bamboo skewer or toothpick all the way through, they are ready.
4

Drain on top of a paper towel to remove excess oil.
5

Combine all of the A ingredients, then simmer on low heat.
6

Stir often, taking care not to burn the mixture. When it starts to thicken as shown, it is ready.
7

Thoroughly coat the sweet potatoes in the sauce while it is still hot.
8

Sprinkle on black sesame seeds to taste, then serve.
