Ingredients
- 300 g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 6 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 large egg white
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sweet chili sauce or soy sauce, for serving
Instructions
- Roughly chop the prawns and place them in a food processor. Pulse until they form a chunky paste.
- Transfer the prawn mixture to a bowl and add green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, and egg white. Mix well.
- Trim the crusts from the bread slices and cut each slice diagonally into two triangles.
- Spread a generous layer of prawn mixture over one side of each bread triangle.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds over the prawn side and gently press them in.
- Heat about 2 cm of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Place the prawn toast into the oil, prawn side down, and fry for about 2 minutes until golden.
- Flip and cook the bread side for another 1 to 2 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
Notes
- Do not over-process the prawns; a slightly chunky texture gives better results.
- Pat thawed frozen prawns dry before using to avoid soggy toast.
- Reheat leftovers in an oven at 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.
- Uncooked prawn toast can be frozen and fried from frozen with a few extra minutes of cooking time.
- For a lighter option, bake at 220°C for 12 to 15 minutes or air fry at 200°C for 8 to 10 minutes.
