Instructions

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes in room temperature water. Once washed, leave the skin on and cut into cubes about 2 cm (0.75 inches) thick. Soak the sweet potato in cold water until ready to use.
  2. Place the rinsed and drained rice in a medium sized saucepan. Add the salt, sake, mirin, and water. Mix together. Taste for seasoning. Add more salt if desired.
  3. Drain the sweet potatoes and place on top of the rice in an even layer.
  4. Place saucepan on the stovetop over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat to low and gently stir the rice. Cover with a lid and cook for a further 20 minutes. Turn off heat, remove from stove, and allow rice to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  5. While the rice is resting, combine the toasted sesame seeds and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Once rested, fluff the rice. Serve, sprinkled with some sesame salt.
