Satsumaimo Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 2 satsumaiko, about 1 lb
• 4 Tbsp sugar
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp ginger juice

Preparation:

Peel satsumaimo potatoes and slice into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Further, cut them into 1/4 inch thick strips. Soak in water for five minutes. Drain and dry with paper towels. Heat oil for deep-frying in a deep pot to 340 degrees F. Deep-fry satsumaimo strips for about 6-8 minutes, or until softened. Drain on paper towels. Reheat the oil to 375 degrees F, and add satsumaimo strips back into the oil. Fry until crispy. Drain on paper towels. Heat water, sugar, and ginger juice in a large skillet on medium heat until thickened. Add deep-fried satsumaimo in the skillet and mix well. Spread on wax paper and let them cool.
