Recipe

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water, trim off both ends, and cut into large bite-sized pieces.
Arrange the prepared sweet potatoes in a pan without overlapping, then evenly sprinkle with water and sugar.
Cover the pan and simmer over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are fully cooked and all moisture has evaporated.
Prepare a flat tray or baking sheet by generously spreading sugar on it.
Remove the cooked sweet potatoes and roll them on the sugar-covered surface to coat the outer layer thoroughly.
Return the sugared sweet potatoes to the pan and cook over low heat until the sugar melts and forms a clear, firm coating.
Turn off the heat when tapping the surface with a fork produces a crisp, stick-like sound, let cool slightly, and serve.

Wash the sweet potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Place sweet potatoes, water, and sugar in a pan, cover, and cook until done.
Roll the cooked sweet potatoes in sugar to coat the outside.
Return to the pan and cook over low heat until the sugar becomes transparent and crisp.
Cool slightly and enjoy while crisp.

Cooking tips

When applying the final sugar coating, use low heat only—high heat can easily burn the sugar.
After finishing, spread the pats out on a wide tray to cool so they don’t stick together; this keeps the surface from being sticky and ensures crispiness.
