HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

02

Add the diced Japanese sweet potato to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Cook for 8-10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.

03

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

04

Return the cooked bacon to the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing to combine all ingredients.

05

Make two wells in the hash mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.

06

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic. Ensure your sweet potato cubes are uniform in size for even cooking.

Easy Substitutions

Regular sweet potatoes can be used instead of Japanese sweet potatoes. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil to cook the sweet potatoes, adding 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. You can also use spinach or kale for added greens.
