Recipe for " Daigaku Imo (Caramelise Sweet Potato)"


Tips

Careful not to eat it straight away after cooking as the sweet potato is going to be really really hot.

Sabar dan biarkan dulu seketika but please enjoy it while it is still hot as that's when it taste the best.

Light Brown Sugar 1/4 cup but i had used lesser as i don't like it too sweet
Cooking Oil 3 tbsp
Water 2 tbsp
Soy Sauce 1 tsp
Rice Vinegar (May Subs W Normal Vinegar) 1 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp
Japanese Sweet Potato (Local Ones Will Do Too) 1 med sized
Black Sesame Seeds (Optional) 1-1/2 tsp (dry toasted)

Instructions

In a pan add sugar, oil, water, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and let simmer in low heat

Once it's bubbling, arrange sweet potatoes in single layer

4

Let the sweet potatoes cook both sides, use fork, skewer or chopstick to turn the sides

It wont take long to cook. To test, just prick it using a toothpick. If it runs through meaning it is cooked
