Ingredients

  • 300 g prawns peeled and deveined
  • 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp light soy sauce
  • 4 slices of white bread
  • 50 g sesame seeds
  • vegetable oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  • Using a large knife or meat cleaver, finely chop the prawns until it resembles a paste.
  • Put the chopped prawns into a bowl, then add the ginger, egg white, garlic, and 1 tsp light soy sauce and mix well.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Take each piece of bread, and spread the prawn mixture on top and make sure you cover the bread right up to the edges.
  • Place the sesame seeds on a large plate. Carefully, take the bread and dip it prawn side down on to the sesame seeds - the sesame seeds will stick to the prawns.
  • Heat around 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large wok or pan until it reaches a temperature of 170c-180c. I prefer to cook each piece of bread one at a time. Shallow fry the bread on each side for around 1-2 minutes until the sesame seeds are golden.
  • Cut each piece into four triangles and serve with soy sauce or chilli sauce.
