Here’s what you’ll need;
- 1.5 lb of shrimp (peeled)
- ¼ cup of Corn Starch
- 8 cloves of Garlic (minced)
- 2.5 tbsp of Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp of Mirin (substitute with apple cider, dry white wine or rice vinegar, though you’ll need to counteract the sourness with about a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar for every tablespoon you use.)
- 2 tbsp of Honey
- 1 tbsp of Sake (optional) (Substitute with apple cider or dry white wine)
- 1 tsp of Ginger
Here’s how it’s made;
Step 1: Mix the soy sauce, mirin, honey, sake, minced garlic and grated ginger till honey is incorporated in the sauce.
Coat shrimp with corn starch; make sure to dust off any excess starch.
Step 2: In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat up to medium-high. Pan-fry the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side and set aside.
Step 3: Pour in the sauce mixture and let it simmer for 30 seconds. Add back in the shrimp and toss in high heat for 1-2 minutes. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
