Sweet Potato Manju

Since I am just a kid, I am not allowed to cook often at my house. I live in South Korea, where sweet potatoes are just the best! I got this recipe from my cooking school and wanted to share a Korean taste.

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step: 2

Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow sweet potatoes to cool. Peel sweet potatoes, transfer to a bowl, and mash.

Step: 3

Heat a skillet over low heat; cook and stir almonds in the hot skillet until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step: 4

Beat 1 egg in a small bowl.

Step: 5

Mix beaten egg, almonds, milk, and honey into mashed sweet potatoes. Divide sweet potato mixture into 15 equal parts. Shape each manju into a sweet potato-shape; arrange on a baking sheet.

Step: 6

Beat remaining 1 egg and water together in a bowl. Brush egg mixture over each manju; top with peanuts.

Step: 7

Bake in the preheated oven until manju are golden brown, about 25 minutes.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the cooking items . But often you can make a dish do more often .
