Sesame Shrimp Toast - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 slices day-old white bread
14 oz medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 None spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tsp finely grated fresh root ginger
1 large egg white
1 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
3-4 tbsp sesame seeds
None None Vegetable oil, to deep-fry

Preparation

Cut the crusts from the bread. In a food processor, combine the shrimp, spring onions, ginger, egg white, cornstarch, soy sauce, and pepper; process until smooth.
Spread the shrimp mixture evenly onto one side of each bread slice. Cut each slice into 4 triangles. Place the sesame seeds on a plate and press the bread, shrimp-side down, in to the sesame seeds to coat.
Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy-based saucepan over moderately high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly in 30 secs without absorbing oil). Deep-fry the toast in batches, prawn-side down for 1 min. Turn and cook for 30 secs more, or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.
