We discover a trick to make this DIY sweet snack even more delicious<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWait, dude, what? You haven\u2019t tried it yet?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Our reporter P.K. Sanjun<\/strong> didn\u2019t really appreciate his friend\u2019s tone of voice, and the smirk on his face didn\u2019t really sit well with him either. But P.K. had to admit that his buddy\u2019s surprise wasn\u2019t completely unfounded. Here at SoraNews24 we\u2019re always on the lookout for unique food and tasty treats, and with P.K. also being openly enthusiastic about sweet potato<\/strong> snacks and sweets, it was natural to assume that he\u2019d already fallen in love with Spread It and Toast It and It\u2019ll be Just Like a Sweet Potato Spread,<\/strong>\u00a0a sweet potato spread from Japan\u2019s discount retailer Don Quijote.<\/p>\n But despite hitting that trifecta of aspects that would give P.K. both a professional and personal reason to try it ASAP, up until his friend tipped him off about it our reporter had been unaware of the existence of Nutte Yaitara Maru de Yaki-imo Spread<\/strong>, to use its Japanese name. Now that he knew about it, though, he extricated himself from the conversation as swiftly as he could and dashed to the nearest Don Quijote<\/strong> branch to pick up a tub for taste-testing<\/strong> purposes.<\/p>\n The sweet potato spread is part of Don Quijote\u2019s Jonetsu Kakaku<\/strong> (\u201cPassionate Price\u201d) private brand, which seeks to deliver good quality products at the affordable prices the chain is known for. A 140-gram (4.9-ounce) pack is priced at 431 yen (US$3), and with no rival sweet potato spread to compare it to we can\u2019t really comment on how good a deal it is, but if nothing else it\u2019s probably safe to say that this isn\u2019t going to rupture anyone\u2019s grocery budget unless you\u2019re not eating a container a day.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t just a tub of pure pureed sweet potato, though. It\u2019s more like peanut butter, but made with sweet potato instead. According to the official product description from Don Quijote, they fine-tuned the ratio of ingredients by a single percent at a time to achieve the optimum flavor that comes closest to a freshly roasted sweet potato, but in a spreadable-on-bread form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For best results, you\u2019re supposed to put the sweet potato spread on a slice of bread and then toast them together. As for how much spread you\u2019re supposed to use, that\u2019s up to you. Once again referring to the official product description, Don Quijote says that using a conservative amount will produce a crisp texture after toasting, while a thicker slathering will retain a moister, more substantial consistency<\/strong>, so P.K. decided to do one slice in each style.<\/p>\n The directions say to toast the bread until it browns but doesn\u2019t burn. Once the slices achieved that enticing color, P.K. pulled them out of the toaster oven and plated them.<\/p>\n Starting with the lightly spread slice, P.K. was a little underwhelmed. Though it had a pleasant sweet potato aroma, the flavor was modest and subdued. Not bad, but not really the sort of thing that he felt he\u2019d be putting into his regular snack rotation.<\/p>\n But then\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2026it was time to taste the second slice, the one he\u2019d applied a thicker layer of the sweet potato spread to. This<\/em> was exactly what he\u2019d been hoping for, full of deliciously sweet sweet potato flavor\u2026and it was about to get even better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, using less spread results in a crisper texture, which P.K. actually enjoys, but the flavor is a lot better with the thicker spread. Just when he thought he was going to have to compromise on his precise preferences, though, something wonderful happened: the outer layer of the thicker spread developed some extra crispiness as it more fully caramelized from the residual heat from its time in the toaster oven<\/strong>. P.K. now had a slice with the best flavor and most satisfying texture, so he recommends using a thick layer of spread, then letting it sit for a minute or so after coming out of the toaster before you dig in.<\/p>\n P.K.\u2019s still not sure how he missed the announcement for Spread It and Toast It and It\u2019ll be Just Like a Sweet Potato Spread, or how he failed to notice it in the several months it\u2019s been on the market since. Still, as they, or, um, as we say, it\u2019s better to be late to the sweet potato party than to never show up at all, and between this and our new DIY melon bread-making skills<\/a>, we\u2019re probably going to need to make another bread run very soon.<\/p>\n Reference: Don Quijote<\/a><\/em> We discover a trick to make this DIY sweet snack even more delicious. \u201cWait, dude, what?
