Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 100 grams Tofu
- 1 sheet Nori sheets
- 1 stalk Spring onion
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 4 slices White bread
- 4 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions
Step 1
Start by roughly chopping the nori sheet and finely chopping the spring onion, ginger, and garlic.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tofu, chopped nori, spring onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Pulse until the mixture is combined but still has some texture.
Step 3
Spread the mixture evenly over each slice of bread, making sure to press it in firmly.
Step 4
Pour the sesame seeds into a shallow bowl and press the topping side of each bread slice into the seeds until they are well-coated.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the toast pieces, sesame side down, and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6
Flip the pieces over and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Step 7
Remove from the skillet and let them drain excess oil on a paper towel.
Step 8
Cut each slice into triangles and serve warm.
