Ingredients(Servings: 7)
Directions
- Dice the sweet potato into 1 cm (0.4 in.) cubes and place into a heat-safe bowl. Add 40 g (1.4 oz.) of mirin, cover with plastic wrap or a heat-safe unsealed lid, and microwave (600W) for 6 minutes. Beat the egg.
- Mash the sweet potato with a fork until smooth, add in (A), and mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
- Add half of the beaten egg and mix well until combined. Cover the surface of the mixture with plastic wrap and set aside in a refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Divide the mixture (2) into 7 equal portions (about 45 g / 1.6 oz. each) and shape each into an oval.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange (4) on top. Lightly brush the surface of each with the remaining beaten egg and top with black sesame seeds in the center.
- Bake in a preheated 180°C (356°F) oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly, then place into aluminum cups. Place 20 g (0.7 oz.) of mirin into a heat-safe bowl and heat uncovered in a microwave (600W) for 1 minute 30 seconds to boil off the alcohol content. Brush the surface of the sweet potatoes with the mirin glaze for a glossy finish.
