Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re about to make Gansho Saeu, a dish that’s perfect as a side for rice or as an impressive appetizer to accompany your favorite drinks. Let’s create this crowd-pleaser together!
Step 2
Begin by preparing the shrimp: remove the heads and devein them, then peel off the shells. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels – this is crucial for a crispy coating. Season the dried shrimp with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy, then coat the seasoned shrimp evenly in the egg white mixture.
Step 3
Next, generously coat the egg-washed shrimp with cornstarch, ensuring each piece is well-covered for a crispy texture. Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully add the coated shrimp and fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Once fried, transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the star of the dish: the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 Tbsp ketchup, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp vinegar. Whisk everything together until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Add the fried shrimp to the pan and pour the prepared sauce over them. Gently stir and cook over medium heat, allowing the sauce to coat the shrimp evenly and thicken slightly, creating a beautiful glaze.
Step 5
And there you have it – your homemade Chili Shrimp (Gansho Saeu) is ready! The delightful balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors, combined with the succulent shrimp, is truly irresistible. Enjoy this dish while it’s warm for the best experience. Impress your guests or treat yourself to this fantastic culinary creation!
