Ingredients
  

  • 2 Lb Sweet Potatoes, cleaned and cut in 1 inch cubes
  • 1 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Ginger
  • 1/2 tsp Chopped Fresh garlic
  • 1/4 Cup Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1/4 Cup Soy Sauce (Tamari preferred)
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 2 each Small Hot chili Pepper
  • 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Scallion
  • 2 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Heat Coconut oil in a large Saute pan with high sides (Also called a Sauteuse pan). Add the ginger and garlic. Cook until aromatic. Then add the Sweet potatoes and chili. Cook until you get some caramelization on each side. Stir as needed to prevent sticking and scorching. Add in the rest of the ingredients except cilantro and scallion. Bring to a simmer. Let the liquid cook down to create a glaze. Stir as needed. If the liquid evaporates too quickly and the potatoes aren't cooked, add a little water, and, continue cooking. You want the potatoes soft enough that they yield to the touch. But, you don't want mashed potatoes. When they are fully cooked and the liquid is a glaze, remove from the heat and stir in the scallion and cilantro. Serve hot.
