Chinese Style Chicken Karaage with Aurora Chili Sauce

I often make this with chicken, which is cheaper than shrimp, with chili sauce, but I wanted to make something a little different, a sauce that was a bit spicy and creamy. I always used to mix some ketchup with chili sauce so I tried mixing some mayonnaise too to make an aurora sauce base.

The sauce is quite thick, so you pour it over some quickly blanched bell peppers. By adjusting the amount of doubanjiang, even small children who don't like bell peppers should eat them up with the sauce.
You can leave out the oyster sauce in the marinade. You can make up for it with Worcestershire sauce.
The sauce goes well with fried squid or shrimp too, in which case use XO sauce instead of oyster sauce. Recipe by Sabumochi
