About Prawn toast

Prawn toast is a popular appetizer originating from Chinese cuisine, often served in dim sum restaurants. It consists of a mixture of minced prawns blended with garlic, ginger, scallions, and other seasonings, spread over slices of bread, and then coated in sesame seeds. The bread is typically deep-fried until golden and crispy, creating a rich and savory dish. While prawn toast provides protein from the prawns and some nutrients from the sesame seeds, it is not considered a highly healthy option due to its high calorie and fat content from deep frying. Additionally, the white bread used is often low in fiber and nutrients. For a lighter alternative, some variations bake the toast instead of frying or use whole-grain bread for added nutritional value, making it a more balanced choice. Enjoy in moderation as part of a varied diet.
