Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg white
3 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine, mirin or dry sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch, plus more for coating (about 3/4 cup)
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails intact)
1/3 cup Thai-style sweet chili sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil, plus more for deep-frying
2 bunches broccolini, trimmed
1 bunch scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the egg white with 1 tablespoon each rice wine, soy sauce and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the shrimp and toss; refrigerate until ready to fry. Whisk the chili sauce, the remaining 2 tablespoons each rice wine and soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 cup water in a bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the broccolini; stir-fry until charred in spots, 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the scallions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir-fry until tender, 2 minutes. Add the chili sauce mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 minute. Cover and set aside.
  • Heat 1 inch of oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365 degrees F. Working in batches, toss the shrimp in cornstarch to coat, then fry until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • Return the wok to medium heat and reheat the sauce if needed. Add the broccolini and shrimp and cook, tossing, until warmed through, 2 minutes. (Add up to 1/2 cup water if the sauce is too thick.) Serve with the rice.

The shrimp was a bit soggy, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the shrimp for a shorter amount of time next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was a bit disappointed. The shrimp was a bit overcooked, and the sauce was too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall this is a great recipe. The shrimp is cooked perfectly, and the sauce is very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again, but I will use less sugar in the sauce next time.

The shrimp was crispy and the sauce was flavorful, but I found the recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I will try using less sugar in the sauce.
