STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES



Stir-Fried Sweet Potatoes image

In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Select firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
  • Cut consistently: Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-frying in batches prevents steaming and promotes even browning.

  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Cook them just until tender-crisp to maintain their vibrant color and texture.
  • Adjust the heat according to your preference: If you like a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili peppers or Sriracha sauce.
  • Garnish before serving: Add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, green onions, or sesame seeds for a pop of color and flavor.
