Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

-----------------------------------BATTER-----------------------------------
4 tb Cornstarch 1 Egg
1/4 c Flour 1 Egg white
1 ts Baking powder 2 tb Salt
1/2 c Water 1 1/2 lb Shrimp; peeled and deveined
1/2 ts Salt 2 c Peanut oil, for deep-frying

-----------------------------------SAUCE-----------------------------------
1 1/2 tb Peanut oil 1 ts White rice vinegar
5 Dried chiles; halved 1/2 c Water
3 tb Finely sliced garlic 1 ts Cornstarch; mixed with
1 ts Salt 1 ts Water
3 tb Sugar

MIX THE BATTER INGREDIENTS in a medium-sized bowl until thick and smooth.
Let the batter sit, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Combine shrimp and
batter. Heat a wok or large deep skillet until hot and add the oil for
frying. When the oil is barely smoking, deep-fry the shrimp for 2 minutes
or until the batter is just firm. You should do this in several batches.
Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Heat a small
saucepan and when hot, add the oil, dried chiles and garlic. Stir for 30
seconds. Add remaining sauce ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes. Keep
warm. Reheat the oil in the wok until it is very hot, but not smoking.
Deep-fry the shrimp again until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
Remove and drain, place on a warm platter, drizzle with the sauce and serve
immediately.
