Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Making slits on the back of the shrimp helps them open up during frying, resulting in a more attractive shape and faster, even cooking inside.
  • When sautéing vegetables and doubanjiang in chili oil, keep the heat low—high heat can easily burn the seasonings.
  • Using chicken stock or Chinese-style stock instead of water enhances the depth and savory richness of the sauce.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try making professional-style Chinese cuisine at home.
  • People looking for a visually appealing and delicious dish for entertaining guests or hosting a home party.
  • Fans of shrimp dishes that are tangy, sweet, and boldly savory with a spicy kick.
