Sweet and Salty Sweet Potatoes

1. 1

   Peel the sweet potatoes, cut into match sticks (as you would for French fries), then soak in water for 15 minutes to remove any astringency.

2. 2

   Combine the ingredients in a pan, bring to a boil, then add the sesame seeds.

3. 3

   Be careful not to boil for too long, or the flavor will be too strong!

4. 4

   Blot the excess water from the sweet potato sticks with a paper towel and coat in katakuriko.

5. 5

   Deep-fry the sticks in oil heated to 355F/180C for about 3 minutes until crispy, drain the excess oil, then coat in the sauce from Step 2.
