An unusual sweet and sour, crunchy sweet potato pickle made without boiling, enhanced with soy sauce for depth of flavor.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not cook the sweet potatoes until soft like potatoes—overcooking causes them to break down and lose their signature crisp texture. Blanching for just 2 minutes ensures a slightly firm, pleasant bite when cooled by residual heat.
  • Using premium soy sauce instead of salt enhances umami depth, and since the brine is not boiled before use, the process is extremely simple.
  • Let sit at room temperature for a short while before refrigerating; enjoy starting the next day when the flavors have mellowed and fully developed.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a distinctive, clean homemade side dish to replace lettuce wraps with pizza, chicken, or grilled meat.
  • Those wanting to enjoy sweet potatoes in a unique, crunchy way beyond steaming or roasting.
