Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2-3 servings)
- 2 Sweet Potatoes (370g)
- Frying Oil (for deep frying)
Seasonings
- [A] 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- [A] 1 tbsp Water
- [B] 2 tbsp Sugar
- [B] 1 tbsp Water
- Pinch of Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Sesame Seeds
Steps
- Wash 2 Sweet Potatoes with their skins on and pat them dry.
- Trim the ends off the Sweet Potatoes and cut them into 1.5cm thick rounds.
- Cut the sliced Sweet Potatoes into 1.5cm cubes. Place the cut Sweet Potatoes in a bowl of water.
- Once all the Sweet Potatoes are cut, let them soak in water for 5 minutes.
- Drain the Sweet Potatoes and microwave them on high power (600W) for 2 minutes, covered loosely with plastic wrap. (Key Tip!) Partially cooking them in the microwave will shorten the frying time.
- Remove the plastic wrap, stir gently, and microwave again for 2 minutes, covered.
- Drain the microwaved Sweet Potatoes in a colander and thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels.
- Pour about 1cm of Frying Oil into a frying pan and heat over medium heat for 1.5 minutes.
- Add the Sweet Potatoes to the hot oil and fry over medium heat until they are crispy all over.
- Once they are crispy after about 7 minutes of frying, drain the oil and remove the sweet potatoes.
- To make the caramel flavor: Combine 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar and 1 tbsp Water in a frying pan and mix.
- Once the sugar and water are combined, heat over medium heat. Cook without stirring until it changes color.
- When the caramel starts to lightly color, lift and swirl the pan to ensure even coloring.
- Turn off the heat when a light caramel color is achieved.
- Add half of the fried Sweet Potatoes to the caramel and quickly toss to coat thoroughly.
- Once coated, add a pinch of Salt and mix.
- Spread them out on parchment paper, making sure they don't touch, and let them cool completely.
- To make the sesame flavor: In a separate frying pan, combine 2 tbsp Sugar and 1 tbsp Water and mix well.
- Once combined, heat over medium heat. Cook without stirring until it changes color.
- When it starts to lightly color, swirl the pan and turn off the heat.
- Add the remaining half of the fried Sweet Potatoes and 1/2 tsp Black Sesame Seeds, and toss well to coat.
- Similar to the caramel version, spread them on parchment paper and let cool. Once cooled, they are ready!
