I still have some nagaimo leftovers so, I thought why not make this dish. I was hesitating to post this recipe. Cos I do not think that this is actually a recipe. But then again, this is too good not to share. The title of this dish describes it all. All we have to do is to saute or pan-sear some nagaimo slices.
I added some je ne sais quoi with some wasabi-white soy sauce solution and black sesame seeds. It is a chefy touch. The sauteed nagaimo already tastes so yummilicious on its own. Nagaimo has a mildly sweet flavor with a slimy texture, but pan-searing it, adds an extra crispy texture and flavor. You can use a cookie cutter for perfectly round discs, but I like to keep them rustic. As simple as this is, you have to give it a try.
