Directions
1
Wrap the sweet potato in plastic wrap, and microwave at 600 W for 3 min.

Once the sweet potato has softened, cut in half along its length. Use a spoon to scoop out the inside, leaving a layer along the skin. Set aside.
3
Place the scooped out sweet potato (about 200 grams) into a bowl and mash using the backside of a fork.

Combine the sweet potato mash and all the ingredients listed under [A] in a pot and heat. Use a rubber spatula to mix together until the mixture becomes glossy and comes together into one mass.
5
Fill the potato skins with the sweet potato mixture. Whisk the egg yolk with a small amount of water, then brush it over the surface of the stuffed sweet potatoes.
6
Bake in the oven at 180°C for 15-20 min, then sprinkle salt on top.
