Ingredients

• 200 grams Raw prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Spring onion (green onion), finely chopped
• 4 pieces White bread slices
• 50 grams Sesame seeds
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw prawns, egg white, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped spring onion in a food processor.

Step 2

Pulse until the mixture forms a smooth paste. Avoid over-processing to retain some texture.

Step 3

Trim the crusts off the white bread slices and cut each slice diagonally to create two triangles.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of the prawn mixture evenly over one side of each bread triangle.

Step 5

Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow dish. Dip the prawn-coated side of each bread triangle into the sesame seeds, pressing gently to ensure they adhere well.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dipping a small piece of bread into it; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden within a few seconds.

Step 7

Carefully place the prawn toasts, sesame side down, into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Fry each piece for 1-2 minutes on the sesame-coated side, then flip and fry the bread side for another 30 seconds or until golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the prawn toasts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot with soy dipping sauce or sweet chili sauce for a delicious appetizer.
