SESAME PRAWN TOAST

Steps:

• To make the prawn fillings, add the prawns, egg white, spring onions, garlic, and seasoning ingredients in the food processor. Blend it into a smooth paste.
• Place the sesame seeds in the plate and set aside.
• Cut the bread crust out and cut in the middle into triangle shapes.
• Place about 1 tablespoon size fillings on the bread, spread the fillings evenly on the bread by using a butter knife.
• Dip the filling side down gently in the sesame seeds until the fillings are coated with sesame seeds evenly. Repeat process to remaining bread slices and set aside. Gently toss the excess sesame seeds out before frying.
• Heat the oil into medium heat about 320°F, test with a wooden chopstick or a piece of bread, once the oil bubbles start sizzling steadily it's ready to fry.
• Fry the filling side down until crispy and turn sides and fry until golden brown.
• Remove from pan and place it on the paper towel to soak the excess oil.
• Garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve immediately with spicy mayo, sweet chilli sauce or any of your favourite dipping sauce.

CHINESE SESAME AND PRAWN TOAST STARTERS

Steps:

• Take the prawns-if they are frozen,make sure they are completely defrosted and drained,place them in a bowl an mash them to a pulp.
• cut the crusts off the bread.
• seperate the eggyolks and whites,discard the yolks and whisk the whites in a bowl.
• make "sanwiches" with the crustless bread,using the pulped prawns,roll thin with a rolling pin (a drink bottle full of water works well for those without a rolling pin).
• place the sesame seeds in a dish.
• cover the bottom of a non stick frying pan with oil (sesame seed oil is tastiest-but a splash added with surfice as this is expensive and strong in flavour) and heat on a medium flame.
• cut each "sanwich into 4 triangles and dip in the egg white untill thoroughly soaked.
• dip in the sesame seeds.
• fry each "toast" for 2-3 mins a side or untill golden.
• serve and enjoy- a sweet chillie dip or soy completes the dish!

CHINESE PRAWN TOAST

Steps:

• Add prawns, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger root, garlic, salt, and sugar to a food processor.
• Whisk egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil together in a small bowl and drizzle over the top of the shrimp mixture. Pulse until smooth, but not pureed, into a prawn mousse.
• Trim crusts off the bread and equally spread the prawn mousse all the way to the edge of each bread slice. Cut diagonally into 12 halves, and lightly sprinkle with sesame seeds
• Add oil to a 10-inch skillet so that it's about 1/2 inch deep, and heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) over medium-high heat. Add 4 of the toasts, prawn-side down, not crowding the pan.
• Fry until toast is golden brown, 30 to 45 seconds; flip and cook bread side for another 15 seconds. The toasts cook very quickly, so keep your eye on them. Repeat for next batch.
• Transfer to a paper towel-lined rack and serve warm with sweet chili sauce.
