Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your delicious sweet potato pancake. Fresh ingredients are key to great flavor.
Step 2
Peel the thoroughly washed sweet potato using a peeler. Then, finely julienne it into thin, uniform strands using a knife or a mandoline slicer. The thinner the julienne, the crispier and more delicious your pancake will be.
Step 3
Finely chop the bacon into small pieces. The salty flavor of the bacon will complement the sweetness of the sweet potato, enhancing its overall taste.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully arrange the julienned sweet potato in the pan, spreading it out to form a circle. Try to avoid overlapping the sweet potato strands too much.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes. The sweet potato will release moisture and naturally bind together, similar to how dough would. Patience is key here.
Step 6
Once the sweet potato mixture has formed a cohesive base, carefully flip it over with a spatula. Then, cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure it cooks through evenly.
Step 7
Lift the lid to reveal a beautifully golden-brown pancake. Ensure both sides are nicely browned.
Step 8
Crack one fresh egg directly onto the cooked sweet potato pancake.
Step 9
Gently break the egg yolk and spread it evenly over the pancake. Then, scatter the chopped bacon pieces over the top.
Step 10
Carefully flip the pancake again to lightly cook the egg and bacon. Be mindful of the heat to prevent the egg from overcooking.
Step 11
Now for the flavor boost! Brush the sweet potato pancake generously with store-bought teriyaki sauce. This will add a delightful sweet and savory dimension.
Step 12
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the teriyaki-glazed pancake. The cheese will melt, adding a wonderful creamy and nutty flavor.
Step 13
Finally, place a small bunch of fresh baby greens in the center of the warm sweet potato pancake for a beautiful presentation. Your delicious Sweet Potato Pancake is ready to be enjoyed!
