Spicy Sweet-potato Sticks Recipe
Yield: 6 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
Large sweet potatoes,
2 tbsp: Vegetable oil,
3 tbsp: Unsalted butter,
1/2 cup: Water, or as needed
3 tbsp: Honey,
Salt,
White pepper,
Ground ginger,
Ground cardamom,
Ground cloves,
Directions:
The potatoes should weigh a total of about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds.
=======================================================
===============
Pare the sweet potatoes and cut into short sticks about 1/4" thick
(if you have a food processor with a disk designed for french fries,
use that).
Heat the oil and butter in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat;
dont let the fat brown. Add the potato sticks and toss to coat;
season with salt, white pepper, about 1/4 ts each of ginger,
cardamom, and a small pinch of cloves. Add 1/2 cup water, adjust the
heat to medium-low, and cook, tossing often, but gently, for about 5
minutes, adding drops of water if needed to prevent sticking.
Add the honey and continue to toss-cook until the sticks are just
tender and nicely glazed, perhaps 3 minutes. Check the seasonings and
serve promptly.

+++++++++++++++ SWEET POTATO STICKS WITH ORANGE AND HONEY:
Omit the ginger, cardamom, and cloves; cook the potatoes with 1 tb of
freshly grated orange zest (colored rind only, no pith) and, if you
have it, 2 tb of candied orange peel. I dont recommend this unless
you have homemade candied peel -- science has not yet detected any
flavor in the kind sold in supermarkets.
