Cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces, either strips or chunks.
Watch out
Hold the cutting board steady when cutting sweet potatoes to prevent the knife from slipping and cutting your fingers.
Prepare a bowl of salted water, soak the cut sweet potatoes in it for about 10 minutes to prevent oxidation and remove excess starch.
Watch out
Keep the salt concentration moderate and do not soak for too long, otherwise the sweet potato will absorb too much water.
Take out the sweet potatoes, place them on a clean cloth or paper towel, and wipe the surface completely dry.
Watch out
Surface moisture will cause oil to splatter when heating, so dry them thoroughly!
Hot oil carries a risk of splashing. Carefully place the sweet potatoes in to avoid hot oil burns.
Pour moderate blending oil into a frying pan until about half-submerged. Add sweet potatoes, turn on medium heat, flip occasionally to heat evenly, then reduce to low heat and continue cooking until golden brown. Check with a bamboo skewer until it easily pierces the center, then remove and drain on paper towels.

If the oil temperature is too high, it will burn on the outside while staying raw inside, so control the heat and flip occasionally.
Pour out excess oil from the pan and wipe clean. Add 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp mirin, and 1 tsp soy sauce, turn on medium-low heat, and stir evenly until the sugar melts.

Containing soy sauce makes it easy to burn, so do not heat for too long
proceed quickly once melted
Once the sugar melts, add the sweet potatoes and coat evenly with the sauce. If it is too sticky, you can add a little water and stir-fry again until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with sauce, then turn off the heat.

Stir-fry quickly to prevent the sauce from burning and becoming bitter.
Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes onto a plate, sprinkle with a little black sesame powder, and serve.
Watch out
The freshly cooked sweet potatoes are extremely hot, be careful not to burn your hands when plating.
