Japanese Sweet Potatoes

I made these Japanese sweet potatoes recently. Putting something sweet (sugar) on top of something already sweet (sweet potato) might sound odd, but the result isn't cloying at all. Frying the potatoes with honey or sugar gives them a wonderful crunch and sugary glaze. I deviated from the recipe somewhat by steaming the potato first and then pan frying the pieces in olive oil/honey. Click here for the full recipe.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound sweet potatoes
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• Vegetable oil for frying (I use olive oil)
