Sweet/Spicy Yam Stir-Fry

Sweet and Spicy Yam Stir-Fry (Vegan/GF)

Friends have really been liking this dish,
so I thought I’d share the recipe :

(1) Medium Size Yam, peeled and cut into cubes (1/2″ or so)
(2) Scallions, thin sliced into rings, separate whites & greens
(1) Tbs Gochujang ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gochujang )
(1) Tbs Leatherwood Honey (or other fragrant type honey)
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucryphia_lucida )
(1) Organic Lemon (Zest it completely first, then juice it)
(1) Tbs Oil (I use peanut oil generally, your choice)
(1) Tsp Sesame seeds (toasted lightly)

Mix the Gochujang, honey, lemon zest, & lemon juice in a bowl.

Add the oil to your pan and pan fry the yams over medium heat until almost cooked to your liking (~about 15 minutes).
Add the Scallion whites, and fry a minute more, then turn the heat down to low. Add the Gochujang mixture and fry another few minutes over low heat until it “sticks” to the yams.
Transfer to a serving dish and dress with the remaining scallion greens and the toasted sesame seeds. This dish is “spicy/sweet” and makes a great side dish for most any meal. Enjoy!
