Did you use sweet soy sauce, which is very dark in color? If so, 1 tablespoons and 2 tablespoons soy sauce will make it dark.

Made this tonight and it was really good but didn’t get that dark color like your pic or when you get at a restaurant. I went to our asian store and followed the recipe exactly. I added cornstarch to thicken. Any other suggestions?

I just made your Kung Pao Shrimp with XL Jumbo Shrimp and it was delicious!! Amazingly simple to make too! I ordered your book from Amazon and it came in the mail. Made my day =)

I have a few silly questions (I’m a terrible cook, but I want to make this for my boyfriend)….

Do you make this with cooked, raw, or frozen shrimp?

How do you know when the shrimp is “half-cooked”? (On that note, how long does it take for them to fully cook?)

And finally, what temperature do I set the wok on?

Thanks in advance!!!

You can buy Kecap Manis in waitrose & spinneys – now if you were looking for mirin – that would be a difficult task in dubai – i have spent a lot of dollars and time searching – Where is the Mizkan supplier in Dubai :(

I just whipped up this dish minutes ago for dinner and it was delish! Your recipes are always a treat to look at and in my experience, come through with flying colour when made at home. Thanks for running this amazing site! – Nabila from Toronto

Actually, for sweet soy sauce…I never knew Malaysians even had it! Personally I use Kicap ABC from Indonesia and it’s widely sold overseas too…have been able to get it in the UK, US and Australia so far…
Try asking your Asian shop in Dubai =)
