Calories (approximate): (Note: Caloric values may vary based on specific ingredients and quantities used)
Preparation Steps:
Step 1: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
Step 2: Rinse the sweet potato chunks under cold water to remove excess starch.
Step 3: In a deep pan or fryer, heat vegetable oil for deep frying to 340°F (170°C).
Step 4: Carefully fry the sweet potato chunks in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 5: In a separate saucepan, combine sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and water to create the candy glaze. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 6: Add the fried sweet potato chunks to the candy glaze, ensuring they are well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and coats the sweet potatoes.
Step 7: Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds, kinako, or chopped nuts over the candied sweet potatoes for added flavor and texture.
Step 8: Remove the Daigaku Imo from the heat and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9: Serve the Daigaku Sweet Potato as a delightful snack or dessert.
Daigaku Sweet Potato is a beloved Japanese treat that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with a delicious candy glaze. Whether enjoyed as a snack or a sweet ending to a meal, it's a delightful way to experience the rich flavors of Japanese cuisine.
