Mix above together and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Place above

Mix and set aside above sauce ingredients. Fry shrimp or chicken in
peanut oil. Place in bowl and set aside.
Pour off all but 2 tb oil and add seasonings and brown. Stir in sauce
until bubbles. Return shrimp. Add sesame oil.
This recipe is absolutely sensational. However it does not make alot
of sauce for rice. I usually double the sauce ingredients. It is very
hot. If you like food milder leave out some chilis.
