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