This one comes from Tom Kerridge's "Real Life Recipes", which is one of the recipe books I keep thinking I should make more use of and yet never seem to get around to.
Anyway, this one was quick and easy to put together, although I was rather nervous of the shallow fry stage for the prawns (large amounts of hot oil always make me nervous, and having small children in the house exacerbates the situation). In future, therefore, I think we'll probably skip the batter and the shallow fry.
In any case, the result was very nice, providing exactly the sort of sweet and sour combination we were expecting and hoping for. Like the sweet and sour dish (from the first "Hairy Dieters" book), the sauce is the key to the dish, and is really easy to make. And it was a winner - to the extent that I'm sorely tempted to drop sweet and sour chicken from my takeaway rotation.
All in all, this one was a winner. We'll surely have it again.
