I was just given a big pile of sweet potatoes and while I've got recipes like "chop them up into sticks, soak in salt water, and then fry them until I think they're done" and "cube them and boil in curry or other heavily spiced stews for ~15 minutes" that all work very well, that's sort of the limit of what I know for them and I want to actually get use out of them before they can spoil.
So I started wondering about making bread, but every recipe I can find seems to just be "this is literally a cake that's being called bread and it's almost 50% table sugar by volume," but that can't be the extent of options can it? There have to be some savory recipes that just rely on the sugar of the sweet potatoes themselves, right?
Chunks of sweet potato or yam goes really good in a chili or curry
There's this Japanese rice dish I forget the name of where you cook the rice like normal except you use dashi stock instead of water and add a bit of soy sauce and rice wine for seasoning along with chunks of some kind of hard slightly sweet vegetable, usually sweet potato or yam or pumpkin to cook with the rice on top
Also while I haven't tried it yet, I have seen this Chinese potato dish on a menu with a sweet potato version
I've actually made something pretty similar before, less the bell pepper and tien tsin peppers (I think that's what those are, looking at them; I've got a bag of them on hand actually), though at the time I was pretty much just winging it completely off of a vague memory. I'll have to try it again with a proper methodology.
Can you remember if that has the sweet potato cooking in with the rice or if it's cooked with already cooked and seasoned rice on top?
The sweet potatoes would finish around the same time as the rice if diced to about 1/4" or less! I make mexican rice with potatoes a lot and they are never undercooked.
