Simple Prawn Toast Recipe

Ingredients

• 200 gram prawn "meat"
• 1 large egg white
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon green chilli paste
• 1 teaspoon chilli oil
• 1/4 teaspoon castor sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornflour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoon finely sliced spring onion
• 4 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
• 6 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the raw prawns, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, chilli paste, egg white and chilli oil and castor sugar to a food processor and blitz until it forms a paste, about 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add the mixture to a bowl and add the cornflour, chilli oil, spring onion, salt and pepper. Mix everything until combined.

3. 3

   Remove the crust from the bread. Divide the prawn mixture into 4 equal portions and spread each portion onto the bread.

4. 4

   Place the sesame seeds in a flat plate, spreading them evenly. Press the bread into the sesame seeds, prawn side down. Ensure the bread is evenly coated.

5. 5

   Cut the bread into 4 triangles. Place on a platter until ready to fry.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a pan or a wok, on medium to high heat. Test the oil by placing a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles then you know the oil is hot enough.

7. 7

   Fry the triangles in batches, paste side down. It will take about 2 minutes for the prawn side and about 1 minute on the other side. The bread should be golden brown and crisp and the prawn must be cooked through.

8. 8

   Place the fried toast on a platter lined with paper towels, to soak up any excess oil.

9. 9

   Sprinkle more spring onion on top and serve with sweet chilli sauce.
