KUNG PAO SHRIMP



Kung Pao Shrimp image

Kung Pao originated from southwest China and is pretty popular in the states. The classic version has peanuts, but I like substituting cashews for their crunch and flavor. A pinch of ground Szechuan peppercorn powder is traditional. Add it if you have it, but you'll be fine without it! Also you can substitute any meat, seafood, or tofu for the shrimp.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 to 6 chiles de arbol or other dried chiles
3 tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable or canola oil
2/3 cup (150 g) whole roasted cashews
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 pounds (600 g) large shrimp, about 21 to 25, peeled and deveined
1 red bell pepper, cut like French fries
1 medium onion, cut into large dice
1/3 cup (90 ml) oyster sauce
2 tablespoons (30 ml) sambal oelek (an Asian chile paste), or more to taste
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock or water
3 scallions, sliced
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Ground white pepper
Steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small dry skillet, toast the dry chiles until they have deepened in color and have begun to release a toasty aroma, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Heat a large saute pan over high heat for about 1 minute. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, swirl in the vegetable oil, cashews, garlic, and toasted chiles. Stir and scrape the pan until the garlic is light brown, about 30 seconds.
  • Toss the shrimp into the pan, stirring constantly, until the shrimp just starts to turn pink and everything starts to smell amazing, about 1 more minute. Add the bell pepper and onions, and cook, stirring, until the onion starts to turn translucent, about 1 minute.
  • Add the oyster sauce and sambal. Stir the cornstarch into the chicken stock to make a slurry, then add it to the pan. Stir well, scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate them into the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. When the shrimp have just turned pink and opaque, meaning the shrimp are cooked through, turn off the heat. Sprinkle in the scallions, add the sesame oil and a pinch of white pepper. Stir everything in the pan to coat all the ingredients.
  • Serve immediately with steamed rice.

KUNG PAO SHRIMP



Kung Pao Shrimp image

The name of this dish is now written in English as gong bao shrimp, and this recipe takes inspiration from the American Chinese versions that come from the Sichuan Province of China. Here, flashes of chile heat shine in a glossy swirl of a salty, sour and sweet sauce. With a confetti blend of shrimp, peppers and peanuts, each mouthful is a little spicy and chewy, savory and crisp. The deep malty tang comes from Chinkiang vinegar, a jet-black condiment from China that is traditionally fermented from grains and aged in clay. It's key to this dish and also delicious for dipping dumplings, saucing noodles and dressing vegetables. (Balsamic vinegar, similarly fermented and aged from grape juice in barrels, is a fun, fruity substitute.) With both vegetables and protein, this one-wok stir-fry is a complete meal with steamed rice.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinkiang (black) vinegar or balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns, coarsely ground, plus more to taste
1 red or orange bell pepper
5 garlic cloves
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
3/4 cup small dried red chiles (23 grams; see Tip)
3 large scallions, cut into 1/2-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Mix the shrimp, Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon cornstarch and a pinch of salt in a bowl until the shrimp are evenly coated. Let stand while you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Stir the sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, Sichuan pepper and remaining teaspoon cornstarch in a separate bowl. Dice the bell pepper and thinly slice the garlic. Have all your ingredients ready next to the stove.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat for 15 seconds. Add the peanuts and stir until browned in spots, 30 to 60 seconds. Add the bell pepper and garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring, until the pepper is bright and the garlic starts to become translucent, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles and stir well, then add the shrimp with its marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are curled and just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the scallions and stir until glossy, about 15 seconds, then add the sauce. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1 minute. If any of the starchy sauce has stuck to the bottom of the pan, add a splash of water and scrape up any browned bits. Taste and add more Sichuan pepper if you'd like. Immediately transfer to a dish and serve hot.
