Kung Pao Shrimp


Check out the recipe in the images here. Comes from a famous recipe collection that has a name similar to "Sports Illustrated".

Analysis:
- We used plain rice vinegar instead of black rice vinegar (I've had some trouble finding the black stuff in the store)
- replaced the schezuan (spelling?) peppercorns with white peppercorns. I think this was a mistake as it appears that the two are very different in taste. I felt that the white peppercorns dominated the final flavor.
- Replaced the oyster sauce with soy sauce since we didn't have any. Not sure how valid this is. The final product actually tasted under-salted, amazingly. Perhaps because we used reduced sodium soy sauce.
