Kung Pao Prawn Takeaway recipe is very similar to Peking prawns which are made with fried battered prawns tossed in a sweet, spicy, savory sauce. UK Takeaway-style Kung Pao sauce is usually made with Hoisin sauce/hot bean sauce, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, sugar, dried chili flakes, or chili oil and do not contain any Sichuan peppercorns. Prawns are seasoned with salt, and pepper and coated with cornstarch, and deep fry until the coating is crispy then tossed together with roasted peanuts, plenty of vegetables, and the thick sauce. Spices and taste are modified to Western taste.
