Have been looking for a candied sweet potato recipe that does not involve deep frying and happy to have found this one! The sugar does harden crispy but that's ok.
Ingredients
3 tbsp oil
5 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp light soya
¼ tsp vinegar
1 medium or large purple skinned sweet potato
1 tsp roasted black sesame seeds (I only had white so used that instead)
Method
1) Cut the sweet potato using the diagonal rotating cuts.
2) Soak sweet potatoes in water for 15 minutes to wash away the starch. Change water every 5 minutes. Dry well with paper towels. I further let it air dry for ½ hour.
3) Put all the ingredients into a pan. I used HCP. Top off with sweet potato chunks.
4) Cover and turn on to a medium flame. If using a regular pan, tie a tea towel around the cover to prevent condensation from dripping into the sugary sauce.
5) Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. It took me 13 but only because I was opening every minute to wipe away the consation. It's done when a skewer or toothpick goes through easily
6) Scatter over the sesame seeds and serve when slightly cool. It's basically molten sugar so be careful.
