• Sweet potato (skin on)about 200g
• ★Sugar3 tbsp
• ★Soy sauce1/4 tsp
• ★Vinegar1/4 tsp
• ★Water1/4 tsp
• ★Oil (vegetable oil, olive oil, etc.)1 tbsp
• Black sesame seeds1/2–1 tbsp

1. 1

   Scrub the sweet potato (about 200g) thoroughly with the skin on, then cut into irregular bite-sized pieces. Soak in water for a few minutes, then drain in a colander.

2. 2

   Add all the ★ seasonings to a frying pan and mix well to combine.

3. 3

   Add the sweet potato pieces to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the seasoning mixture, then spread them out in a single layer.

4. 4

   Cover with a lid and heat over medium heat. Once the seasoning starts to bubble, reduce to low heat and cook for 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Remove the lid, flip the sweet potato pieces, replace the lid, and cook for another 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the lid, increase to medium heat, and cook for about 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. 7

   Pierce the sweet potato with a toothpick or skewer to check for tenderness. Once soft, add 1/2–1 tbsp of black sesame seeds, toss to coat evenly, and turn off the heat.

8. 8

   The sugar will crystallize as it cools, making it even more delicious. Let it cool slightly before serving, if preferred.

The final result may vary depending on the variety of sweet potato, the size of the pieces, and the size and material of your frying pan. Keep an eye on things and adjust the heat and cooking time as needed.
