       4 tb Cornstarch
     1/4 c  Flour
       1 ts Baking powder
     1/2 c  Water
     1/2 ts Salt
       1    Egg

 MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
   1 1/2 tb Peanut oil
       5    Dried chiles; halved
       3 tb Finely sliced garlic
       1 ts Salt
       3 tb Sugar

       1 ts Cornstarch; mixed with
       1 ts Water
  
   MIX THE BATTER INGREDIENTS in a medium-sized bowl until thick and
   smooth. Let the batter sit, covered, for at least 30 minutes. Combine
   shrimp and batter. Heat a wok or large deep skillet until hot and add
   the oil for frying. When the oil is barely smoking, deep-fry the
   shrimp for 2 minutes or until the batter is just firm. You should do
   this in several batches. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain
   on paper towels. Heat a small saucepan and when hot, add the oil,
   dried chiles and garlic. Stir for 30 seconds. Add remaining sauce
   ingredients and simmer for 2 minutes. Keep warm. Reheat the oil in
   the wok until it is very hot, but not smoking. Deep-fry the shrimp
   again until they are golden and crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove and
   drain, place on a warm platter, drizzle with the sauce and serve
   immediately.
