Sesame Prawn Toast

Serves: 4-8

INGREDIENTS

3cm piece of fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 spring onions, chopped
350 grams frozen prawn cutlets, thawed and tails removed
7 egg whites
1 teaspoon caster sugar
1 tablespoon reduced salt soy sauce 
pinch of white pepper
6 slices sourdough
70 grams sesame seeds
vegetable oil for shallow frying 

To Serve
crispy chilli oil

METHOD

In a food processor, blitz together ginger, garlic and spring onions. Add the prawns, egg whites, caster sugar, soy sauce and white pepper and blitz until smooth. Spread over the sourdough. 

Place the sesame seeds on an oven tray then dip the toast, prawn-side down, into the sesame seeds. Make sure the prawn mixture is completely coated in seeds.  

Heat 1cm of oil in a frying pan. Place the bread, non-prawn side first, in the oil and fry until crisp. Gently turn and fry the prawn side until lightly golden, this should take roughly 1 minute. 

Cut the toast in half and serve drizzled with chilli oil.
