Ingredients
- 250 grams raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 stalks green onion, finely sliced
- 4 pieces white bread slices
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 500 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Place the shrimp, egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and one stalk of sliced green onion into a food processor. Blend until it forms a smooth paste.
Step 2
Lay the slices of white bread on a cutting board and spread the shrimp paste evenly over one side of each slice, ensuring the paste is thick enough to fully coat the surface.
Step 3
Sprinkle the sesame seeds generously on top of the shrimp paste, pressing them gently to stick.
Step 4
Cut each bread slice into quarters, either in squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Step 6
Carefully place the shrimp toast pieces into the oil with the shrimp side facing down. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 7
Cook each piece for 2-3 minutes on the shrimp side or until golden brown, then flip and fry the bread side for another 1 minute until crisp.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked shrimp toasts to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish with the remaining sliced green onion and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
