Sesame prawn toast is an all-time favorite part of a Chinese takeaway but have you ever tried making your own? Not only does it make for a satisfying small snack, but it's also a great way to use up the leftover bread that's been sitting in your bread bin.
Prawn toast is a Hongkongese-Cantonese dim sum dish and is an example of an early form of fusion cuisine, combining prawn paste—a staple of Hong Kong cuisine-and toast, which originates from the West. Don't forget soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
Method:
1. Place the prawns, garlic, ginger, egg white, sugar and soy in a food processor and make a paste. Stir in the spring onion. Remove it into a bowl. Cover and put in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with sesame oil. Spread the prawn mixture on top. Brush the beaten egg carefully over the top and sides and sprinkle with sesame seeds so they stick to the prawn mixture.
3. Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan until hot, and cook each piece of bread it's easier to cook one at a time. Firstly, cook the non-spread-side down for 1 minute, then carefully turn over and cook for 1-2 mins on the prawn side or until the sesame seeds are golden and the prawn paste is cooked through.
4. Cut each piece into four triangles and enjoy!
