Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Instead of dissolving ketchup in water, sauté it with vegetables in oil first—this eliminates the sharp tang and deepens sweetness and flavor.
  • Thanks to the starch in the shrimp coating, there’s no need to add extra starch slurry; the sauce naturally thickens when stir-frying with the shrimp.
  • For adults, adding about half a tablespoon of doubanjiang to the sauce base transforms this into a spicy, savory Sichuan-style dish.

Recommended for

  • Parents looking for a sweet, sour, delicious, and nutritious side dish for young children.
  • Those wanting to easily recreate authentic chili shrimp flavor at home without fail.
