Instructions

Wash the sweet potatoes with their skins on, cut into bite-size pieces, and soak in water for 5 minutes to remove starch and stop discoloration. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
Put the sweet potato pieces in a frying pan with the cooking oil, cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn them over, cover and cook for another 3 minutes.
Test with a bamboo skewer to check that the potatoes are cooked through. Pour off the oil with paper towels, then add the sugar, soy sauce and vinegar or lemon juice.
When the sugar melts and coats the potatoes, turn off the heat and sprinkle with the toasted black sesame seeds.
