Instructions

1
Brown the sweet potato deeply in the Sesame Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.
2
Remove it, then let the garlic and ginger soften in the drippings with the gochugaru.
3
Return the sweet potato, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.
4
Cover and braise low and slow until the sweet potato yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.
5
Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.

Chef's tip

Skim the fat from the surface before the final reduction for a cleaner sauce.
