Sesame Seed Prawn Toast Recipe

Use uncooked prawns for this dish, as ready-cooked ones will tend to separate from the bread during cooking.

      Ingredients

  • prawns - 225g, uncooked, peeled

  • spring onions - 1 tsp, chopped

  • root ginger - 1/2 tsp, chopped

  • egg white - 1, lightly beaten

  • white bread - 6 slices

  • lard - 25g

  • white sesame seeds - 115-150g

  • corn flour paste - 1 tbsp

  • Chinese rice wine - 1 tbsp

  • salt and black pepper

  • vegetable oil

 

        Method

  • Chop together the prawns with the lard to form a paste.

  • Mix the prawn paste with all the other ingredients except bread and sesame seeds.

  • Spread the sesame seeds evenly on a tray.

  • Spread the prawn paste thickly on one side of each slice of bread, press, spread side down, on the seeds.

  • Heat the oil until medium hot, fry 2-3 slices of sesame bread at a time, spread side down for 2-3 minutes.

  • Remove and drain. Cut it into six or eight fingers. Serves 4.
