Ingredients
- 5 inches nagaimo
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 4 tbsp water
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and cut the nagaimo into 1/2 inch round slices. Note that the nagaimo will get very slimy.
- Heat some oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Add the nagaimo and pan fry for a few minutes until the bottom side is nicely golden brown. Flip the slices over and brown the other side.
- Add the soy sauce, mirin, and two tablespoons of water into the pan. It should start bubbling away rapidly. Swirl the pan to make sure that all of the nagaimo slices are covered in the sauce.
- Let the sauce bubble away for about 2 minutes or until the pan is almost dry. Flip the slices over and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Swirl the pan again to make the the other side of the nagaimo slices are flavored with the sauce.
- Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until all of the water has evaporated. Remove from the pan and serve.
