YUM-Soy-Glazed Sweet Potatoes from Dec. '00

[Jessica]

I accidentally bought some white sweet potatoes and used them in this recipe. It was very easy and both my husband and I liked the slightly sticky glaze that covers the potatoes. I would not omit the sesame seeds at the end because they give the potatoes a neat little crunch.

I halved the recipe and my potatoes cooked much faster than the recipe suggests, so watch carefully.

This dish is a little sweet, but not compared to the very sugary sweet potato dishes you often see this time of year.

Jessica, would you mind posting this recipe? I searched for it, but came up with nothing (found some other good-looking recipes, though!)

thanks!

[Jessica]

Could someone with the software please post it so I don't have to type it?

Thanks much.

Thanks for the review Jessica! Just had to look up the recipe so I thought I may as well post it!

I'm looking at the table of contents from EW and wondering if their Winter 2004 soy-glazed sweet potato recipe is the same as CL's ...
if anyone has the EW on hand and can just skim through, I'd love feedback.

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for bringing up this old thread. These sound yummy, and I'm always looking for new ways to make sweet potatoes. Can't wait to try them!

Wow! I think I just found the side dish for my "In a Pinch Moo Shu Chicken" this week. Thanks!

Wallycat- As I was reading this I was thinking, Hey, I just made this recipe but it's from EW, Winter 04'! Yes, it's the same recipe and so good. I guess it's like clothes. Everything comes back. But it's strange that it's 2 different mags........:eek:

It's not really that strange. This is in Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone cookbook, and she was the featured recipe contributor in both CL and EW. I made this tonight, too. Very tasty(smells kinda funny roasting, though...a kinda burnt smell from the sesame oil. Flavors great, though!)

I made these last night to go with "In a Pinch Moo Shu Chicken" and LOVED THEM!!!!! Not overly sweet, but a bit tangy too. DH and I are both taking leftovers of both today.

Thanks from me too. I made these when the recipe first came out but had forgotten about it. I LOVE THESE GUYS! (maybe a little too much :rolleyes:

[Jessica]

I still love these!!

I made these tonight finally. I wish I would have read this thread, b/c I did forget the sesame seeds :( . Everyone enjoyed these and they were so very easy to prepare, just a long baking time. But as said in a previous post, mine were ready before the 6o minutes were up. My mother did not have any mirin so we substituted sherry and sugar per foodsubs.com info. Very good!!!!!!!
