Introduction
A sweet potato snack that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, made in a frying pan without deep-frying. Pre-heating in the microwave ensures a quick, foolproof, and easy result.
Step 1
Wash the sweet potato with water and thoroughly wipe off the moisture with paper towels.
Step 2
Trim off both ends of the sweet potato, slice into 1cm width, then cut into 1cm cubes.
Step 3
Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl with water and soak for about 3 minutes to remove starch. Rinse quickly and drain well after 3 minutes.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave (600W) for 3 minutes. Remove, stir the contents, recover with wrap, microwave for another 1 minute (600W), then wipe off any excess moisture with paper towels.
Step 5
Add 1.5 tablespoons of salad oil to a frying pan, heat over medium heat for about 30 seconds, then spread the sweet potatoes out in the pan. Sear for about 2.5 minutes without moving them; once browned, flip and roll them while cooking for a total of about 5 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ After pre-heating in the microwave, be sure to wipe off excess moisture to prevent oil splatters and achieve a crispy sear.
💡 Cooling the pan slightly before simmering the sugar water helps ensure even heating and prevents burning.
✨ Continuously stirring after turning off the heat allows the sugar to recrystallize, creating a light and crispy texture.
