Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams King Oyster Mushrooms
- 100 grams Firm Tofu
- 2 stalks Green Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornflour
- 4 slices White Bread
- 3 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
- 100 milliliters Vegetable Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Clean the king oyster mushrooms and shred them using a fork or finely chop them by hand.
Place the shredded mushrooms in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the green onions and garlic, then add them to the bowl with the mushrooms.
Crumble the firm tofu using your hands or a fork and add it to the mushroom mixture.
Add soy sauce, sesame oil, cornflour, salt, and black pepper to the mushroom and tofu mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Take the slices of white bread and remove the crusts, then cut each slice into triangles.
Spread a generous amount of the mushroom mixture onto each bread triangle, pressing down lightly to ensure the mixture sticks.
Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press the mushroom-covered side of each triangle onto the seeds to coat it completely.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, place the triangles in the pan, sesame seed side down, and fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Flip the toasts and continue to cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the toasts from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the vegetarian sesame prawn toast hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
