Take the pieces out of the egg and put them into the cornstarch -use your hands, don't dump them in or you'll get too much egg! Mix them around so that they are all coated and then spread them out on the baking sheet then spray or drizzle the tops with oil. Bake for 25 minutes, or until they are soft inside.

While the sweet potatoes are baking, make the rice. Bring the rice + 2 cups of cold water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Lower the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 8 minutes.
1 cup sushi rice or jasmine rice
Make the spicy mayo by mixing the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Notes
If you don't eat eggs you can dip the sweet potato pieces into dairy-free milk to wet them slightly so that the coating sticks to them.
