1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
butter
Cream Dipping Sauce

1
Peel sweet potatoes and cut into large pieces. Remove any dark spots.
2
Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling water until soft.
3
Leave in a strainer or colander for at least 1 hour to drain completely of water
4
Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mix with soy sauce, using your hands** (do not overmix, or the mixture will get too sticky to work with).
5
Add flour, sugar, salt and pepper and mix with hands. Remove any hard or black parts.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
