大学芋 (Daigaku Imo)

Today I want to share a simple yet delicious dish to all of you.

Some of you might have heard of daigaku imo but some of you might have not.

Daigaku Imo (University/ College Potato) is a traditional Japanese sweet. It's made of Fried sweet potato coated with sugar syrup.

It can be a perfect side dish for bento (which I made it for my October bento) as well as a great snack serve with green tea ^_^

It's very easy to do yet delicious! hehe! I have just done making my October bento and I will post the pic on my blog soon. 'Til then, here is the photo for Daigaku imo.




Basically, cut satsumaimo (sweet potato) into bite size and fried it until cooked and turned golden brown. I use medium heat. Once it's cooked and turned golden brown, set it aside.

Syrup is made from soy sauce, sugar and water. Boil the ingredients until it thicken and off the fire. Toss in the fried sweet potato and mix it to coat well. Put it into a bowl or plate and sprinkle black sesame on top and serve.

Simple right?

That's all from me. Thank you for visiting my blog.
