Week 6: Daigaku imo


Again we both followed different recipes this week, and there are several variations on Daigaku imo as well.

This is a translation of a fairly simple one, from cookpad, a good resource for Japanese recipes.


2 sweet potatoes (about 800g)

Mizu-ame (sugar syrup) 150g

Water 2 tablespoons

Soy sauce 1/2 tablespoon

Black sesame seeds

Wash the potatoes well, chop them and put them in cold water.

Dry them with kitchen paper to remove excess moisture and deep fry them slowly in oil of about 125 C. Mix the sugar syrup, water and soy sauce in a pan, and heat up. Add the potatoes to this mixture and stir to coat. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and serve.
