Miso Pork on a Sweet Potato

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425F.

2. 2

   Use a fork or sharp knife to prick the sweet potato in several places.

3. 3

   Place on a piece of aluminum foil and bake until the sweet potato is tender and can be easily squeezed, 40 to 60 minutes.

4. 4

   (Alternatively, to speed up the process, the pricked sweet potato can be microwaved on High for 1 minute, then carefully transferred to the oven on a piece of foil.

5. 5

   Bake until the potato is tender, 25 to 35 minutes.)

6. 6

   Meanwhile, pour the oil into a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

7. 7

   Add the pork and stir-fry until no traces of pink remain and the pork starts to exude juices, about 5 minutes, breaking up any large clumps as you cook.

8. 8

   Add the broccolini and stir-fry until the vegetables are barely tender and retain some crunch, 3 to 4 minutes.

9. 9

   Add the miso and water; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or so, until a sauce forms.

10. 10

    If the mixture seems dry, add up to a few more tablespoons of water, stirring to combine.

11. 11

    When the sweet potato has finished baking, place it on a serving plate.

12. 12

    Use a knife to slash open the sweet potato, then spoon the miso-pork mixture on top.

13. 13

    Sprinkle with the scallion, drizzle with a little Sriracha, and eat while its hot.
