• ½ cup Coles corn flour 

• 2 cups oil for frying 

DIY XO Sauce 

• ¼ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil 

• 2 golden shallots, peeled 

• 3 cloves garlic, peeled 

• 1 tbs fresh ginger, peeled 

• 6 long red chillies, roughly chopped, plus extra to garnish 

• ¼ bunch coriander, stems & tops separated 

• ¼ cup dried shrimp, soaked in water for 30 minutes

• 1 tbs Coles caster sugar

• 1/3 cup shoa xing (Chinese cooking wine)

• 2 tsp Coles Asia sesame oil 

• 1 tbs soy sauce (check for gluten free)
