Ingredients

• 250 grams raw prawns, shelled and deveined
• 4 slices white bread slices
• 1 large egg white
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
• 0 as needed vegetable oil, for frying
• 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the prawn mixture. Place the raw prawns in a food processor along with the egg white, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, honey, sea salt, black pepper, and toasted sesame oil.

Step 2

Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 3

Trim the crusts from the bread slices to create uniform squares.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the prawn paste onto each slice of bread, ensuring that the paste extends to the edges.

Step 5

Pour the white sesame seeds onto a small plate. Gently press the prawn-coated side of each bread slice into the sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, place the slices into the pan with the prawn mixture facing down.

Step 8

Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden and the prawn topping is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the prawn toast from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease.

Step 10

Garnish with finely chopped scallions.

Step 11

Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
