  2. Once the salt has dissolved, add the cooking oil.
  3. When the water starts boiling, add the sweet potato leaves.
  4. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the leaves.
  5. Toss the leaves so they are evenly coated in the liquid.
  6. Cover the pan with a lid and wait 1–3 minutes, until you see steam. Take off the lid.

  8. Cover again and wait another 1–3 minutes, until you see steam.
  9. After 20 more seconds, turn off the heat. Wait another 20 seconds before lifting the lid.
