👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   Place the cubed boniato in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until slightly tender but not mushy. Drain well and pat dry with paper towels.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup of olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently for about 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Do not let it burn. Remove from heat and stir in the sour orange juice (or lime/orange juice mixture), 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. This is your mojo sauce. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the blanched boniato cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

4. 4

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried boniato from the oil and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt while still hot.

5. 5

   Arrange the fried boniato on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared mojo sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
