Steps:
- Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop into bite-size chunks.
- To make the dressing, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, mustard powder, and salt.
- Combine the potatoes, bacon, bok choy, red pepper, green onion and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour over dressing and mix well. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to blend, and serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe sweet potatoes. Look for ones that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin.
- If you don't have time to roast the sweet potatoes, you can microwave them instead. Just prick them with a fork and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender.
- To make the dressing, simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. You can adjust the amount of lime juice and honey to taste.
- The salad is best served immediately after it is made. However, it will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
