Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 100 grams Tofu
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 1 stalk Spring onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 4 slices White bread
- 4 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 1 cup Oil (for frying)
Instructions
Start by roughly chopping the nori sheet and finely chopping the spring onion, ginger, and garlic.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tofu, chopped nori, spring onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Pulse until the mixture is combined but still has some texture.
Spread the mixture evenly over each slice of bread, making sure to press it in firmly.
Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow bowl and press the topping side of each bread slice into the seeds until they are well-coated.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the toast pieces, sesame side down, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Flip the pieces over and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Remove from the skillet and let them drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Cut each slice into triangles and serve warm.
