Ingredients

  • 4 slices white bread, crusts off and cut into 16 triangles.
  • 190 grams shrimp , shells, and tails removed, deveined.
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil.
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, finely diced.
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons sesame seed for coating
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, blend the prawns, egg white, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and white pepper until it becomes a paste.

  2. Spread the shrimp paste mixture evenly over the 16 bread triangles, aiming for a layer of paste that is about an inch thick. Generously pat a layer of sesame seeds onto the shrimp toasts.

  3. Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan or a deep fryer.

  4. Test that it is ready for frying by dipping in a crust piece from the bread - it should sizzle and bubble but not turn brown immediately.

  5. In batches, fry the sesame toasts. Lower them into the oil prawn-side down for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry for a further 1-2 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy.

  6. Remove onto kitchen paper or a cooling rack, then serve immediately while still hot and crunchy.
