Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Raw prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Spring onion (green onion), finely chopped
- 4 pieces White bread slices
- 50 grams Sesame seeds
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Place the raw prawns, egg white, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped spring onion in a food processor.
Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Avoid over-processing to retain some texture.
Trim the crusts off the white bread slices and cut each slice diagonally to create two triangles.
Spread a generous layer of the prawn mixture evenly over one side of each bread triangle.
Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow dish. Dip the prawn-coated side of each bread triangle into the sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dipping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden within a few seconds.
Carefully place the prawn toasts, sesame side down, into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry each piece for 1-2 minutes on the sesame-coated side, then flip and fry the bread side for another 30 seconds or until golden brown.
Remove the prawn toasts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with soy dipping sauce or sweet chili sauce for a delicious appetizer.
