Ingredients- 5 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 4 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp fish sauce (or anchovy/sand lance fish sauce)
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Start by thoroughly washing 5 medium-sized sweet potatoes under running water. Then, use a knife or a peeler to carefully remove the skin.
Step 2
2. Julienne the peeled sweet potatoes into thin, uniform strips using a mandoline slicer or a knife. Rinse the julienned sweet potatoes in cold water 2-3 times to remove any excess starch, then drain them well in a colander. Letting them drain completely will help maintain their crispiness!
Step 3
3. To the drained sweet potato juliennes, add 2 Tbsp sugar, 4 Tbsp gochugaru, 2 Tbsp fish sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, and 2 Tbsp vinegar. Gently mix everything together with your hands, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the sweet potatoes mushy; a gentle toss is key.
Step 4
4. Finally, sprinkle 1 Tbsp of toasted sesame seeds over the mixed sweet potato juliennes and give it one last gentle toss. Your delicious Sweet Potato Julienne Salad is ready! It’s great to eat immediately, but chilling it in the refrigerator for a while allows the flavors to meld even further for an enhanced taste experience.
