My thoughts:
If at that spot is i matter that is pop inwards Hong Kong is food. You tin laissez passer the sack discovery dishes from nearly rattling providence inwards China likewise equally Japanese, British, Indian as well as American-influenced dishes.  Since Bravo's “Around the World inwards lxxx Plates volition survive inwards Hong Kong this calendar week (June 27th, 10/9c)I idea it would survive a fun conduct chances to brand i of my favorite Cantonese dishes, which is slowly to discovery inwards Hong Kong, lightly coated, crisp common salt as well as pepper shrimp. It is traditionally flora at dinnertime (steamed dishes similar dumplings are the ones flora before inwards the day, during yum cha) at i of the many dim amount restaurants.

I modified the dish a flake from beingness absolutely traditional to function inwards to a greater extent than "user friendly";  I peeled the shrimp instead of leaving the shells on as well as used cornstarch instead of harder-to-find rice flour precisely the destination upshot is wonderful. Spicy as well as salty as well as crunchy. They are super fun to brand inwards a wok precisely if your wok frying skills aren't the best, y'all tin laissez passer the sack small-scale the whole batch at i time inwards a large heavy bottomed skillet.

Sichuan peppercorns are know for their "numbing hot" tendencies, they brand your natural language as well as lips tingle a flake field providing their signature citrus-y flavor. Store the leftover salt/pepper mixture inwards an airtight container for the adjacent fourth dimension y'all brand common salt as well as pepper shrimp (or receive it on popcorn!).
