Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams raw prawns, shelled and deveined
- 4 slices white bread slices
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- as needed vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
Begin by preparing the prawn mixture. Place the raw prawns in a food processor along with the egg white, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil.
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
Trim the crusts from the bread slices to create uniform squares.
Spread an even layer of the prawn paste onto each slice of bread, ensuring that the paste extends to the edges.
Pour the white sesame seeds onto a small plate. Gently press the prawn-coated side of each bread slice into the sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the slices into the pan with the prawn mixture facing down.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden and the prawn topping is cooked through.
Remove the prawn toast from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease.
Garnish with finely chopped scallions.
Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
