There's nothing like crispy shrimp; something about the small crustaceans, battered and fried, makes them extra yummy, with a fantastic textural contrast of crunchy and soft. And if you add a bit of heat, a bit of the pickled vegetables, a bit of rice… you've got a bowl of dinner with enough flavor and contrast to impress even the most jaded culinarians.

If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz. shrimp, working in batches if necessary.
-
If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” pieces. For this and diced chicken, follow same instructions as shrimp in Steps 3 and 4, cooking, stirring occasionally, until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

If using tofu, line a plate with a paper towel. Cut tofu into 1" dice and place on towel-lined plate. Top with paper towels, then press gently but firmly to remove excess moisture.
