Peel and devein the prawns, then rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a food processor, combine prawns, egg white, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
Spread the prawn mixture evenly over each slice of whole wheat bread, ensuring the mixture is spread right to the edges.
Sprinkle a generous layer of sesame seeds onto the prawn paste on each slice of bread, pressing down gently to ensure they adhere.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place the bread slices in the pan, prawn side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the sesame seeds are golden and the prawn mixture is cooked through.
Carefully flip the bread and toast the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until crisp and lightly browned.
Remove from the pan and let cool slightly before cutting each slice into 4 triangles.
Garnish with sliced spring onions before serving. Serve warm.
