MISO GLAZED JAPANESE SWEET POTATOES

Categories     side dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds Japanese sweet potatoes
½ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
2 tablespoons white miso
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium if available)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 or more tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Leave the skins on the potatoes and cut away any spots or blemishes, then cut into 1½ inch cubes, skin left on. Place into a large bowl as you cut and drizzle on some of the oil to coat, which will stop them from oxidizing (turning brown) in the air. Continue cutting and oiling using up all of the oil.
  • Sprinkle on the pepper as you toss the oiled potatoes so the pepper gets distributed evenly. Then pour out onto a foil lined sheet pan and place in the oven in a single layer. Roast for 20 minutes, remove from oven and flip the potatoes then roast for 15 minutes more or until tender.
  • While potatoes are roasting, make the glaze by heating a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat with the butter and sesame oil. Add garlic and cook for two minutes then remove from heat and stir in the miso, soy, brown sugar and water. Stir to mix then set aside. It won't look like much but it is just enough to glaze the potatoes.
  • When the potatoes come out of the oven, return the skillet to high heat and pour in the cooked potatoes, including any oil left on the sheet pan.
  • Use a rubber spatula or turner and gently toss the potatoes and glaze until they are coated. Cook just long enough to crisp them up a bit then remove from heat and sprinkle on the sesame seeds while tossing with the spatula. The seeds will stick to all wet surfaces. If you wait too long, the potato surface will dry and the sesame seeds won't stick.
  • Serve immediately.

JAPANESE SOY GLAZED SWEET POTATO

This is a really tasty dish which we like as part of a Japanese meal- usually we'll serve with a tofu miso soup, steamed short grain rice and a salad made with Recipe #362130. I'm not sure how many serves but would serve 4 in this style meal. To make it faster, I often microwave the potato for 5 minutes first and leave out the water when baking. This way it's done in about 30 minutes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 -3 sweet potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 sheet of toasted nori

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Combine first 6 ingredients; stir well with a whisk. Arrange potatoes in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
  • Pour soy sauce mixture over potatoes. Cover and bake at 400° for 50 minutes or until tender.
  • Baste with the soy sauce mixture. Uncover, and bake an additional 10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and shredded nori, toss and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes that are free of blemishes. Medium-sized sweet potatoes are best for this recipe.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the sweet potatoes are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the main flavoring ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and has a rich, savory flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sweet potatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Test them with a fork to see if they are done.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: The sweet potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

This Japanese soy-glazed sweet potato recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy vegetable. The sweet potatoes are roasted until they are tender and then glazed with a flavorful soy sauce mixture. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, and sure to please everyone at the table.
