- 1/2 Cup brown sugar
- 1/4 Cup Sweet chili sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic smashed

- Add sesame oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Add dissolved cornstarch and cook for 1 minute or until thick. Add sesame seeds. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Combine cornstarch, flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Dredge in cornstarch mixture.
- Gently add shrimp to hot oil. Repeat with remaining shrimp, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook for about 1 minute or until coating is crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
- Pack rice in containers, top with shrimp, drizzle with glaze, and garnish with green onions.
