Steps
1. I used medium shrimp.
Peel the shrimp and devein along the back, then make 3 to 4 shallow cuts across the belly
to keep them from curling up.
2. Add mirin (cooking rice wine), salt, and ground black pepper to season.
3. Beat the egg white with a whisk.
4. Add 3 tbsp potato starch and the beaten egg white together, then mix and massage into the shrimp.
5. Deep-fry in oil until golden brown...
6. Drain the excess oil on paper towels.
7. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces and blanch briefly in boiling water.
Drain in a strainer to remove excess water and let cool.
8. Add all the sauce ingredients in the listed amounts and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Using lemon juice instead of vinegar gives a cleaner taste. (Adjust the amounts of sugar and vinegar to your taste.)
Arrange the broccoli and shrimp on a plate, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
It is very similar to Cajun salad dressing, so you can also use this sauce over fried chicken cutlets.
Ppunwife's tips
- Pairing this with fruit or fresh vegetables turns it into a more wonderful and generous salad.
