Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onion, finely sliced
- 4 pieces white bread slices
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Place the shrimp, egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and one stalk of sliced green onion into a food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth paste.
Lay the slices of white bread on a cutting board and spread the shrimp paste evenly over one side of each slice, ensuring the paste is thick enough to fully coat the surface.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds generously on top of the shrimp paste, pressing them gently to stick.
Cut each bread slice into quarters, either in squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully place the shrimp toast pieces into the oil with the shrimp side facing down. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each piece for 2-3 minutes on the shrimp side or until golden brown, then flip and fry the bread side for another 1 minute until crisp.
Transfer the cooked shrimp toasts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish with the remaining sliced green onion and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
