A Chinese classic, prawn toasts are often considered beyond the capabilities of the humble home cook. Nonsense, says Lucy Mitchell from oriental food supplier Sea Woo. Try her recipe for sesame prawn toasts and surprise yourself.
Makes 6 – 8 slices
1. Mince the prawns then mix them with the pork and sesame oil.
2. Spread the sesame seeds evenly on a large plate, spread the prawn paste thickly on one side of each slice of bread, then place, spread side down on the surface of the sesame seeds, pressing gently so each slice has a good coating.
3. Heat the oil in a wok or deep fryer, on a moderate heat. Deep fry the toast spread side down for about 3 – 4 minutes or until golden brown. Drain excess oil on absorbent paper and serve.
