I made some sesame shrimp but I need to change the recipe to make it better.
The sauce was 1 cup orange juice, 2 Tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar, reduced to 1/3 cup. (this was a little too thin and I would prefer to have twice the volume)
The batter was 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup cornstarch for 1 and 1/2 lbs of shrimp. Fried in oil in batches (4). (The batter was too thin and I'd like it to be thicker but very crisp, like a tempura.)
Place the fried shrimp on hot rice, pour some of the reduction over it, sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
The tastes were pretty good, the textures were off. Can you suggest how you might change it? TIA
