Ingredients:

- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 tsp light soy sauce
- 1 green onion
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 1/2 cup sesame seeds
- 10 slices bread
- 4 cups oil (for deep frying)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Prawn Paste:
- In a food processor, combine the prawns, salt, egg, ginger, soy sauce, green onion, and sesame oil.
- Process the mixture until it forms a smooth paste.
-
Prep the Bread:
- Cut each slice of bread into rectangles, yielding approximately 3 pieces per slice.
-
Spread the Paste:
- Take each bread rectangle and spread a generous amount of the prawn paste onto one side, creating a slight mound in the center.
-
Coat with Sesame Seeds:
- Place the sesame seeds in a small bowl.
- Press the paste-coated side of each bread rectangle into the sesame seeds, ensuring an even coating.
-
Deep Fry:
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan to medium heat.
- Carefully place the prawn toasts into the hot oil, paste side down.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side until crisp and golden.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the toasts from the oil and drain excess oil by placing them on paper towels.
- Repeat the frying process until all toasts are cooked.
-
Note:
- If using fresh bread, consider drying it out in the oven beforehand to reduce oil absorption.
- Alternatively, the prawn paste can be prepared manually by finely chopping all the ingredients.
