It is told that Ranghai, the god of plenty was made to fall in love with a sweet potato when he refused to bow to the moon.
He sat for 60 days at the base of the tallest mountain in Vietnam not taking his eyes off his beloved sweet potato once.
On the 61st day, the potato gave birth to a human baby made entirely of miso. Over the course of one moon, the salty child grew and grew until it was nearly as tall as the mountain, devouring everything it could lay it’s chubby hands on.
The other gods became jealous of the miso child’s delicious flesh and so struck it down with a thousand lightning bolts.
And with that, Charred Miso Sweet Potato chunks were born.
