★ Tips & FAQs ★

What's in Bang Bang Shrimp Sauce?

The simplicity and deliciousness of this iconic 3-ingredient sauce has always impressed me! Most sources say Bang Bang Shrimp originated as an appetizer available at Bonefish Grill.

Bang Bang shrimp is probably what put that restaurant on the map honestly. It caught on like wildfire! The public cracked the code on the tasty sauce pretty quickly though and made it easy to make you own bang bang sauce at home.

Here's what's in homemade bang bang sauce:

• Sriracha Sauce
• Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
• Mayonnaise

That's it. It's a sweet and spicy creamy sauce. Plain and simple but so not plain and simple tasting.

What is an Egg Roll Bowl?

An egg roll bowl essentially deconstructs the popular Americanized Chinese food menu item — the egg roll — in a bowl. Take everything you'd normally find inside an egg roll and put it in a bowl. Leave out the fried dough, add crispy won ton strips.

Egg roll bowl quickly became popular because there are easy to make, don't require deep frying anything, are made with healthy ingredients and are yummy too!

Personally, I liked the idea of using shrimp instead of pork or ground turkey which is what most recipes I saw were using. I also felt the egg roll bowl needed a sauce. Something spicy. Something amazing! Something everyone already knew and loved... the bang bang sauce. Also known as boom boom sauce, which you can buy ready-made to save time.

One (large) pan is all you need.

We are essentially stir frying here so a large skillet or a wok works best.

Woks are cool because you can flip them instead of stirring and they have high sides so they aren't as messy.

However I sometimes just use my dutch oven because I don't feel like getting out my wok. Lazy I know. If you're really wanting a wok you can get one fast from Amazon. Shop Woks now

Storing extra Bang Bang sauce

Make a large batch of sauce and use a sauce bottle to store and dispense. Tip: You may need to clip the top of the spout to widen it if your sauce has any chunks.

Craving some substance?

Don't leave out the wonton strips! The extra crunch is everything.

You could also serve this over cooked rice or quinoa if you are craving some extra filler.

Gathering the ingredients you need...

There are a few oddball ingredients that you may not already have but don't worry you can find them at almost any grocery store.

Or you can shop ingredients online at Amazon.
