Succulent Prawn Toast: Easy-to-make Chinese delight, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces prawns, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 6 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
Instructions:
  • Combine prawns, water chestnuts, green onions, ginger root, garlic, salt, and sugar in a food processor.
  • Combine egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl, then pour over the shrimp mixture. Blend until smooth to create a prawn mousse with a slightly chunky texture.
  • Remove crusts from bread and generously spread prawn mousse to the edges of each slice. Slice diagonally into 12 pieces and gently sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Pour enough oil into a 10-inch skillet to reach a 1/2-inch depth. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C over medium-high heat. Carefully add 4 toasts, prawn-side down, ensuring they are not crowded in the pan.
  • Fry until toast is a beautiful golden brown, about 30-45 seconds, then flip and cook the bread side for an additional 15 seconds. Keep a close watch as they cook quickly. Repeat with the next batch.
  • Place the cooked food on a paper towel-lined rack and serve it warm with sweet chili sauce.
