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.

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.

SWEET AND SOUR PRAWNS/SHRIMP
This recipe is based on one from ninmsn.com.au which the DH and I changed to suit our own tastes. The original included water chestnuts which we omitted and we added chillies to give a bit of bite and we thoroughly enjoyed the result. When we made it I used 580 grams of prawns but they were jumbo prawns - 7 all up and the 2 of us gobbled up the lot, using smaller prawns you could serve 3 to 4 people. I have included peeling the prawns in the preperation time.

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. Scatter over the chopped coriander and serve with cooked rice on the side.

SWEET AND SOUR SHRIMP (FLAT BELLY DIET)
This is a very fast and tasty dish. It is great just as written, although I also like to add a little Thai Chili Sauce to it for zing! Also, I use a mix of stir fry vegetables, but the original recipe calls for frozen bell peppers. If you wanted to cut the peppers, this would probably be good with fresh peppers. This recipe is doubled from the original.
