  • Rinse shrimp, pat dry, and set aside to drain on paper towels.
  • Combine cornstarch, bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon ginger, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Shake to mix well. Add the shrimp and shake to coat.
  • Whisk ketchup, orange juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, Shaoxing wine, fish sauce, garlic, togarashi, 1 tablespoon ginger, and onion powder together in a medium bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Shake excess cornstarch mixture off the shrimp; add shrimp to the pan. Fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Swipe most of the oil out of the pan, leaving a light coat. Add the ketchup sauce; cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes. Arrange shrimp on a plate; drizzle sauce over and garnish with green onions and cilantro.
