One of the very few foods that R doesn't enjoy- so naturally, I've risen to the challenge and have spent 30 some years presenting yams and sweet potatoes chopped, spiced, sweetened, flattened and disguised all in an effort to make him realize what he's missing. Silly me. Turns out he found the answer himself at our favorite restaurant
Anything is yummy when mixed with wasabi. Make sure you add the wasabi incrementally- I think different brands are spicier.
Wasabi Sweet Potatoes with Asian Spiced Steak and Walnut Broccoli
The sweet potatoes accompanied a 5 spice rubbed tenderloin. I had some SOY VAY Brand Hoisin Garlic Marinade that I marinated the steak with and then finished it in the broiler. Here’s what else we had- Rick is really a fan of the sweet potatoes with extra wasabi mixed in.
