- 140! NOT 160!! SORRY!
Simple, sweet, and delicious! Was taught by one of my students and I just have to pass it on!
Note: most people recommend seating the oven at 160 degrees Celsius which is why I probably did it in this video, and why it's totally fine so I didn't reshoot it, but ACTUALLY I SET IT TO 140!!
Method Summary:
1) Get Japanese satsumaimo (or any other sweet potato).
2) Wash the outside. (I usually use the same cloth I use to wash dishes, but a soft brush works if you have one).
3) Preheat an oven to 140 degrees Celsius (284 F).
4) Wrap the potatoes in tin foil.
5) Bake in the oven for 90 minutes.
Nice video. I love Japanese sweet potatoes. My grandma was Japanese and she used to bake them and eat them as a snack.
Thank you for the tutorial. My mom loves, loves Japanese Sweet Potato.
Trying it now. They are really good. Yummy.
My favorite food 🍠😍👏
Awesome, right!?
Yes! We love them so much that we both made a video for how to cook them lol 👩🏻🍳 👨🍳
I forgot how delish these potatoes are… I washed them stick 3 on a pan. Put in the oven on broil for 30 mins on side then 20 minutes on the other. Yum yum yum❤
They're amazing! My local supermarket makes them - they're even better than the ones I make. Enjoy!
Great video thank you! My favorite potato!
Mine too!! Thanks for watching!
looool fahhrrrenhheit ! Killed me man you goddamn right 😆
Haha!!
I'm making this with dinner, the cinnamon sounds good
I just usually wrap it and wax paper but first I stabbed the potato several times and cook it for like 9 minutes if it's a really big one and it usually comes out perfect in the microwave but you know about 67 minutes and I'll check it and feel of it. I love these potatoes
Great idea! I've done that too. The reason for cooking it for a long time at low heat is to break down the sugars. They get really sweet that way.
Thank You, Sir!!
They look delicious!
They are!! And super simple!!
Just boil it for 30 minutes. No need for aluminum foil. Better still boil it with ginger.
Every time I try to boil them they take way longer to get cooked they probably take up to 5 hours idk why
That’s definitely the way most Japanese do it. Cut into pieces and they’ll boil faster.
For me, cooking a long time at low temperature makes them sweeter and professional sweet potato makers in Japan (yes they exist) cook them that way.
@@brentinjapan thank you I’ll try that
You don't need foil! Bake without it or boil them. Foil is aluminum. The aluminum seeps into your food as it bakes. You're poisoning your body.
You can also wait until the banana has many dark spot.
But too soft and sweet taste for me. 💁🏻♀️
Cool thank u
“20 grams of carb, if your on a low carb diet, you’re not having these” did you mean you ARE having these?
Haha. Interesting point! I guess we have to talk about what low carb means. I should have said that if you’re on a NO carb diet you’re not having these, just to be safe. These potatoes are among the healthiest carbs.
Good job!
Thanks Willie!
I dont have 90m 2nite. Will def do tomorrow
You can set it and go to bed. They'll be fine sitting in the oven. Maybe change it to 80 min instead though. One thing: your stove may beep and wake you up! LOL
FAHRENHEIT 😂
Would be nice to have a written summary.
Excellent idea! Done! I added it in the comments section. Thanks for the advice!
Hi would spell out the name of the Japanese sweet potato you are cooking up. Thank you
Thanks for watching. In Japanese it’s satsumaimo [sa tsu my mow]. Thanks for watching!
@@brentinjapan Thank you
I wonder if I can get those in the US...
All of my life in Canada until moving to Japan I think I never saw these. The northern States are probably the same. In the south I'm sure they have them - they have a long yam eating tradition. We had yams in Canada sometimes. You can cook yams the same way.
@@brentinjapan bought some today. I live in Maine
@@comebackkid625 Awesome! Enjoy!!
Trader Joe's and Asian market have them
Yes u can, at John's Marquets. We have it here in L.A. CALIFORNIA.
THEY R D BEST !!!
90 minutes?
Yup! 140 C for 90 minutes. I know it seems long, but the longer the better. Sometimes I set it before I go to bed.
Two questions… you say 140 Celsius in the comments but 160 C in the video. Which is better?
Also: no need to poke holes with a fork before? Some sites say to do that but you seem to imply it’s not needed.
Thanks!
People dont overcook your eggs until the yolks is green. I went to tooo many place and they have green eggs. This is not dr sous, I dont want green eggs and ham.
The potatoes look like custard
Yeah, they get the consistency of a thick cake sometimes. Love them. It’s like having dessert with dinner!
Is it fattening ??
No. Sweet potatoes have fewer calories, fewer carbs, and WAY more vitamin A than normal potatoes. Both are good if you don’t eat too much. Regular potatoes have more protein but better to get protein elsewhere. When I’m on a diet I never eat white potatoes.
@@brentinjapan I actually thought these were the murasaki sweet potatoes I picked up at traders joe . It looks very identical.
@@kevinwilson3337 They look a little similar but murasaki imo (murasaki = purple, imo = potato) are actually purple inside!
@@brentinjapan no their not . At least not the ones at trader’s joe. Inside is a golden yellow
@@kevinwilson3337 Trader Joe’s has mislabeled them then. Those are satsumaimo, like the ones in my video. Murasaki imo are murasaki (purple) inside. There are different kinds, but Google them and you’ll see.
So that's 160 degrees celsius in 90 mins
Most Japanese cook it at 160 degrees for 90 minutes, but actually my student taught me 140 degrees for 90 minutes and I agree that 140 is better. Sorry for the mistake in my video!
@@brentinjapan thank you! Will try this!
@@adoi You'll love it. I usually make a bunch and keep them in the fridge. When I'm hungry, I take a couple bites! I also heat them up with dinner the next day.
Ok good video. Incidentally, does your Creator treat you the same way you treat Him? Now, THAT part was not appreciated, at least by yours truly. And I am yours truly. And He is to whomever sees their need of Him. 😁
