Introduction
A simple and healthy snack made by slowly heating a sweet potato in the microwave and coating it with honey and kinako. The moist, soft texture pairs perfectly with the fragrant, nutty flavor of the kinako.
Step 1
Dampen a paper towel, wring out excess water, wrap the sweet potato completely, and then wrap it again with plastic wrap.
Step 2
Place on a microwave-safe plate and heat in the microwave at 600W for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Step 3
Turn it over, heat at 200W for 5 minutes, then turn it over once more and heat at 200W for another 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from the microwave and insert a bamboo skewer into the center to check if it is soft and pierces easily, then let it sit for about 10 minutes to cool down.
Step 5
Remove the plastic wrap and paper towel, trim off both ends, cut into rounds (or bite-sized chunks), and halve any larger pieces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Heating slowly at a low wattage (200W) draws out the maximum sweetness of the sweet potato.
⚠️ The potato will be extremely hot immediately after heating, so please be careful not to burn yourself and let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting.
🍳 If the sweet potato tends to crumble, slicing it into rounds rather than cutting it into uneven chunks (rangiri) will help it hold its shape better.
