SZECHUAN SWEET & SOUR PRAWNS

Steps:

• Peel and slice the pineapple lengthways into 8 wedges, then cut out and discard the woody core. Preheat a large griddle pan over a high heat, add the pineapple for 4 minutes, or until charred and bar-marked, turning occasionally, then remove to a board to cool. Meanwhile, halve, deseed and finely slice the peppers lengthways. Add to the griddle for about 3 minutes, or until slightly softened and bar-marked, turning halfway.
• Peel the garlic and deseed the chillies, then roughly chop and place into a pestle and mortar. Bash with a pinch of salt to a rough paste. Peel, finely chop and add the ginger, then bash until broken down and combined. Place the chilli paste into a large bowl with the prawns and a splash of oil, then mix well.
• Heat a lug of oil in a large wok or non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the prawn mixture and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until just cooked through. Meanwhile, chop the cooled pineapple into bite-sized chunks. In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vinegar, soy, cornflour and a splash of water, then add to the wok with the chargrilled pineapple and peppers. Bring to the boil, then simmer over a low heat for about 2 minutes, or until thickened and reduced. Pick over the coriander leaves, then serve with steamed rice.

SWEET AND SOUR PRAWNS

Steps:

• Make the sweet and sour sauce as instructed in the recipe. Set aside.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until light and foamy. Add the cornstarch and continue whisking until all of the cornstarch has dissolved and you have a smooth batter.
• Heat a wok, large skillet, frying pan, or Dutch oven to medium-high heat with enough cooking oil to fry the shrimp. The oil should reach 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to fry your battered shrimp.
• Coat your peeled and deveined shrimp into the batter using a heat-safe slotted spoon or fork. Let the excess batter drip off of the shrimp before placing them into your heated oil.
• Fry the battered shrimp for 4-5 minutes, or until a light golden brown. Remove the cooked shrimp from your cooking oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil. Cook the shrimp in batches, if needed, until all of your shrimp are done.
• Clean out debris from your oil and leave about 2 tablespoons of your cooking oil in the wok or skillet to stir fry your vegetables. Return the wok to medium-high heat and add your cut vegetables. Stir fry until tender, about 2-3 minutes.
• Pour the sweet and sour sauce over your wok fried vegetables and stir to thoroughly coat the cut veggies. Add the shrimp back to the wok or skillet and stir to coat. Cook until the sauce is shimmering and the shrimp and sauce are heated through.
• Remove from heat and serve immediately. Serve over steamed or fried rice, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion if desired.

SWEET AND SOUR GLAZED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Stir together the plum sauce, ketchup, soy sauce and pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside.
• Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the scallion whites, garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until soft, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar and scrape up any brown bits that cling to the bottom of the skillet. Add the plum-ketchup sauce and bring to a simmer. Return the shrimp to the skillet along with the scallion greens and give the skillet a swirl to bring everything together. Divide among 4 plates and serve with white rice if using.

Steps:

• To make the sauce, in a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of stock, the ketchup, sugar, juice, vinegar, soy, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper flakes. Set aside.

• In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the ginger, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes. Set aside for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a large wok over high heat. Add the oil, swirling to coat the sides and bottom of the pan. Add the shrimp, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry until pink, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan. Add the onions and peppers and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Add the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Return the shrimp to the pan and add the pineapples, cherries, and green onions. Cook until the sauce is thick, about 1 minute.

SWEET & SOUR PRAWNS

Steps:

• Tip the prawns in a bowl and mix with the soy, then set aside for a few minutes. Stir in the cornflour.
• Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat to a depth of 3-4cm. When it's shimmering or a cooking thermometer reads 170C, fry the prawns in batches for about 2 mins until crisp and golden, turning them with a slotted spoon halfway through. Carefully lift onto a plate using the slotted spoon. Turn off the heat. Leave the pan for a few minutes to cool down.
• Carefully pour all but 1 tbsp oil from the wok - keep the remainder for use in another recipe or discard.
• Put the wok back on a high heat. When the oil is shimmering, carefully add the onion and peppers, and stir-fry for 1 min. Add the garlic and ginger, and continue to cook for 30 seconds, then scatter over the sugar and pour in the vinegar. Turn up the heat and boil for 2 mins. Stir in the soy and ketchup to make a thick, glossy sauce. When you're ready to serve, tip the prawns back into the pan and stir to coat in the sauce.
