Ingredients

• 250 grams Raw prawns (peeled and deveined)
• 1 Egg white
• 2 Spring onions (finely chopped)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
• 6 White bread slices
• 5 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 250 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw prawns in a food processor and pulse until you get a coarse paste.

Step 2

Add the egg white, finely chopped spring onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper into the food processor.

Step 3

Blend everything together until a smooth paste forms.

Step 4

Cut the crusts off the bread slices to form neat squares.

Step 5

Spread a generous amount of the prawn paste onto each slice of bread, ensuring an even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the prawn paste, pressing them gently to ensure they stick.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of bread into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Step 9

Place the bread slices, prawn-side down, into the hot oil.

Step 10

Fry for 2-3 minutes until the prawn side is golden and crispy, then flip to the other side and fry for another minute to toast the bread.

Step 11

Remove the prawn toasts from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 12

Cut each toast into triangles or quarters if desired and serve immediately, hot and crispy.
