Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large Egg white
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 pieces White bread slices, crusts removed
- 3 tablespoons White sesame seeds
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp paste: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp, egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and salt to a food processor. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Prepare the bread: Take the slices of white bread and remove the crusts. Cut each slice diagonally into two triangles.
Spread the shrimp paste: Take a generous amount of the shrimp paste and spread it evenly onto one side of each bread triangle. Make sure the paste is evenly distributed and smooth.
Add sesame seeds: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the shrimp paste layer on each triangle, gently pressing them down so they adhere to the surface.
Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the shrimp toast: Carefully place the bread triangles, shrimp-side down, into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then flip and fry the other side for 1-2 minutes until the bread is golden and crispy.
Drain the toast: Remove the shrimp toast from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve: Allow the shrimp toast to cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
