Ebi Chiri, a japanese take on chinese szechuan stir fry.
Cheating at it once again, got some frozen pre-cooked prawns. These look pretty good. Wonder if we can do em justice?
I kinda forgot to plan ahead so these are still hella wet. Here's my pathetic attempt to dust them with flour.
Last of the frozen spring onion! Not much here this will have to do.
So this sauce is made from ketchup, sugar, soy sauce, cooking sake, consomme... and critically... uh... no chilli?? No chillies are in this recipe. Still ive got the sauces to do my own variation to make me feel better. I'm going to use half organic ketchup and half indian hot & sweet sauce, which is like a spiced up sweet chilli/ketchup combo. Will forgo the extra sugar, as this is going to be plenty sweet enough. As for the consomme? It appears to be... powdered in the game graphics? so im using half a stock cube, dissolving it in the sake and soysauce before adding the ketchup.
This smells really good.
We fry up the prawns, spring onion, (in chilli oil to make me feel better!) and then add the sauce, and it says to add potato starch to thicken up the sauce, but i think with all the clumpy flour "dusting" ive succeeded in thickening it up enough as it is.

Between the hot sauce and the chilli oil, I've managed to spice this up quite a bit! Cooked some rice noodles to go with. Really nice sauce. Definitely think it could have some garlic, cashews/peanuts, and fried rice instead of a crappy lettuce.
