Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into pieces 1/4 x 1/4 x 2 inches
small “finger” of ginger, peeled and finely julienned
1/4 c. green onions, thinly sliced (more if you prefer)

1. Whisk vinegar, oil, honey, soy sauce, grated ginger and cayenne pepper in a small bowl, chill for an hour.
2. Steam the sweet potatoes and julienned ginger over salted boiling water until tender when pierced with a knife, about 6 to 8 minutes. Be careful not to over-cook. Immediately immerse in ice water to stop the cooking, then blot dry.
