Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 pounds Japanese rice
40 (16/20) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Seasoned flour, as needed
7 egg whites, lightly beaten
Peanut oil, as needed
Two 8-ounce green bell peppers, washed, seeded and sliced into 1/2-inch wide strips
Ajishio, as an accompaniment
2 lemons, sliced, as an accompaniment
Sweet and sour sauce, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Cook the rice the day before, spread on a sheet pan, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Separate the rice grains by gently rubbing with the palms of your hands, then chop rice coarsely, this is the domyoji.
  • Make 3 cuts across inner curve of shrimp, 1/2-inch apart. (This prevents shrimp from curling when cooked.) Coat the shrimp in flour and shake off any excess.
  • Dip shrimp into the egg whites and then into the coarse rice. (Be sure that the rice adheres firmly.)
  • In a wok, heat oil over moderate heat to 350 degrees F. Deep-fry shrimp until golden. Drain well on absorbent paper and place on a sheet pan-well spread out-into a preheated 450 degree F oven for 3 to 4 minutes to finish cooking process. Serve immediately.
  • Add green peppers to the wok and fry until tender. Remove and drain well.
  • To serve, arrange 4 shrimp on green pepper strips on a preheated plate and sprinkle with ajishio seasoning, garnish with a lemon slice, and serve with sweet and sour sauce.

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 18 shrimp, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

18 large shrimp
salt
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1 1/2 cups Wondra Flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut oil
1 cup ice water
1 pinch sugar
oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • Remove the shell from the shrimp, but leave the tail intact. Devein with a deep cut, but no not sever the two halves of the shrimp. Mix the sherry with a pinch or two of salt and toss with the shrimp. Put aside while batter is being prepared.
  • Mix the Wondra, baking powder, and salt together and add the peanut oil slowly while beating to mix thoroughly. When the dough forms a lump, add the water, a little at a time until the batter is the consistency of light cream. Heat the oil for deep frying in a wok to 360-370*. Place the shrimp on a paper towel.
  • Take a shrimp by the tail and coat with batter-not the tail, please. Drop the shrimp into the hot oil. Repeat with all the shrimp, removing them to drain as they become golden brown and puffy. Serve at once, or place in a warm (about 150*) oven to keep warm.
