Sesame Prawns Toast Recipes

SESAME PRAWN TOAST RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the raw prawns, ginger, garlic, egg white, spring onions, light soy sauce, salt and white pepper to a mini food processor and blitz until you get to a paste.
• Slice the bread with 2 straight cuts across each piece from corner to corner leaving you with 12 triangles of bread (no need to remove the crust).
• Spread the prawn paste evenly across one side of each of the bread triangles. It should be roughly 1 tbsp of paste for each triangle.
• Place the sesame seeds onto a plate or in a shallow bowl.
• Dip each of the triangles, paste side down, into the sesame seeds so you get a nice even covering of sesame seeds on the paste. Place on a plate ready for frying.
• Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan over a high heat, until it's hot but not smoking. Pro Tip: You can test this by placing a small chunk of bread into the oil, if it floats and starts to sizzle then the oil is hot enough.
• Working in two to three batches (see *Note 2*), add the triangles into the oil, paste side down and cook for 1-2 minutes, turn, then cook for another 30-60 seconds, until the bread is golden and the prawn paste is cooked through.
• Place on a plate or tray lined with a couple of pieces of kitchen roll to soak up any excess fat.
• Repeat until all you prawn toast is cooked.
• Sprinkle on some fresh, finely chopped, coriander (optional) and serve with the sweet chilli dipping sauce.
