SESAME SHRIMP TOAST (PRAWN TOAST)



Sesame shrimp toast (prawn toast) image

A classic Chinese restaurant appetizer that's easy to make at home (and just as delicious).

Provided by Caroline's Cooking

Categories     Appetizer/Starter

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 lb raw shrimp (240g prawns (shelled and deveined weight))
1 egg white
1 tsp garlic (finely grated)
1 tsp ginger (finely grated)
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
2 spring onions (scallions, optional)
5 slices white bread ((or 6, if needed))
2 tbsp sesame seeds (approx, for sprinkling)
4 tbsp vegetable oil (or canola, for frying, approx)

Steps:

  • Place the shrimp, egg white, garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sugar in a food processor and pulse to form a relatively smooth paste. Finely slice the spring onion and add to the mixture then pulse to combine.
  • Cut each of the slices of bread into quarters, diagonally so that you get four triangles from each slice. Take roughly a teaspoonful of the mixture and spread it on one of the pieces of the bread, spreading flat and as far to the edges as you can. Repeat with the rest of the bread and the shrimp/prawn mixture.
  • Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the shrimp side of the pieces of bread and gently press the seeds in to the mixture so they hold but stay on the top. I like to put all the pieces right next to each other so you can sprinkle on all at once. (Alternatively, you can add them by dipping in a dish with sesame seeds but this does mean you will need extra and have to discard any leftover)
  • Heat some of the oil in a skillet/frying pan over a medium heat so that you have a thin layer over the pan (it's OK if your pan shape means it drifts to the side if you can put the pieces in so they sit in the oil).
  • Fry the pieces of bread in batches, shrimp side down first. Cook for around 3-4 minutes until the sesame seeds are just starting to brown and you can see the shrimp/prawn has changed color and is cooked.
  • Turn the bread and cook around another 2-3 minutes to crisp gently on the underside. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Repeat with the next batch or batches as needed then serve while still warm.

SESAME PRAWN TOAST

Use up leftover bread to make that classic Chinese starter - sesame prawn toast. Serve with soy or a sweet & sour sauce for dipping

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Side dish, Snack, Starter, Treat

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

200g prawns, peeled and cleaned
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
1 tsp finely grated ginger
1 egg white
½ tsp golden caster sugar
1 tsp light soy sauce, plus extra to serve
2 spring onions, very finely chopped
3 slices white bread, crusts removed
sesame oil, for brushing
1 egg, lightly beaten
100g sesame seeds
groundnut or sunflower oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Put the prawns, garlic, ginger, egg white, sugar and soy in a food processor and blitz to a paste. Stir in the spring onion. Scrape into a bowl, cover and chill for 30 mins.
  • Brush one side of each piece of bread with sesame oil. Spread the prawn mixture on top, taking it right to the edges of the bread. Brush the beaten egg carefully over the top and sides and sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds so they stick all over.
  • Heat 2-3cm oil in a sauté pan or deep frying pan until hot, and cook each piece of bread (it's easier to cook one at a time), unspread-side down for 1½ mins, then carefully turn over and cook for 1-2 mins on the prawn side or until the sesame seeds are golden and the prawn paste cooked through. Cut each piece into four triangles. Serve with soy sauce (or a sweet & sour sauce) for dipping, if you like.

SESAME PRAWN TOAST RECIPE



Sesame Prawn Toast Recipe image

Crispy prawn toast is infinitely better when it's homemade. Top slices of bread with a simple whizzed up prawn mixture, coat in sesame seeds and fry to golden perfection. You can have these ready in less than 20 minutes!

Provided by Nicky Corbishley

Categories     Appetizer     Party Food

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

200 g (7oz) raw prawns (shrimp) ((de-veined and de-shelled) see *Note 1*)
1 tsp minced ginger
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 egg white
2 spring onions (scallions) (chopped)
1 tsp light soy sauce
¼ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp salt
3 pieces thick sliced white bread
6 tbsp sesame seeds
Vegetable oil for frying (around 1 litre)
1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
2 tbsp sweet chilli dipping sauce

Steps:

  • Add the raw prawns, ginger, garlic, egg white, spring onions, light soy sauce, salt and white pepper to a mini food processor and blitz until you get to a paste.
  • Slice the bread with 2 straight cuts across each piece from corner to corner leaving you with 12 triangles of bread (no need to remove the crust).
  • Spread the prawn paste evenly across one side of each of the bread triangles. It should be roughly 1 tbsp of paste for each triangle.
  • Place the sesame seeds onto a plate or in a shallow bowl.
  • Dip each of the triangles, paste side down, into the sesame seeds so you get a nice even covering of sesame seeds on the paste. Place on a plate ready for frying.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or deep frying pan over a high heat, until it's hot but not smoking. Pro Tip: You can test this by placing a small chunk of bread into the oil, if it floats and starts to sizzle then the oil is hot enough.
  • Working in two to three batches (see *Note 2*), add the triangles into the oil, paste side down and cook for 1-2 minutes, turn, then cook for another 30-60 seconds, until the bread is golden and the prawn paste is cooked through.
  • Place on a plate or tray lined with a couple of pieces of kitchen roll to soak up any excess fat.
  • Repeat until all you prawn toast is cooked.
  • Sprinkle on some fresh, finely chopped, coriander (optional) and serve with the sweet chilli dipping sauce.

SESAME SHRIMP TOASTS



Sesame Shrimp Toasts image

Enjoy a Chinese dim sum favorite with your party guests. The shrimp paste is easy to make, and the deep frying doesn't require a big time commitment. Look for very thinly sliced white bread in the grocery store-if you can't find it, regular sliced bread can be thinned out with a quick pass of a rolling pin!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 40 toasts (12 to 15 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons lemon juice
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 large egg white
1-inch piece ginger, roughly chopped
1 small clove garlic, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp, tails removed
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 small inner stalk celery, very finely chopped
6 whole water chestnuts, very finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
10 slices very thinly sliced white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Make the shrimp paste: Process the egg white, ginger, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of the sesame oil, the sherry, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar and several grinds of pepper in a food processor until all the ginger and garlic are pureed. Add the shrimp, and pulse until a thick paste forms. Transfer to a medium bowl, and fold in 2/3 of the scallions, the celery, water chestnuts and sesame seeds. (The shrimp paste can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
  • Trim the crusts from the bread, and evenly divide the shrimp paste among the slices (about 2 heaping tablespoons each). Spread out into an even layer that completely covers the bread.
  • Make the dipping sauce: Whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, the lemon juice and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Fry the toasts: Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large, wide skillet with straight sides, with about 1 inch of vegetable oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the skillet, and bring the oil to 375 degrees F over medium heat. Being careful of the hot oil splashing, put 5 to 6 shrimp toasts in the oil shrimp-side down and fry until the shrimp and the edges of the bread are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pieces, and continue to fry until the bottoms are golden brown, about 1 minute more. (Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the temperature.) Transfer the shrimp toasts to the prepared baking sheet, and dab the tops with a paper towel to absorb some of the excess oil. Sprinkle the toasts all over with the remaining scallions and some sesame seeds and salt. Cut each toast into 4 triangles, and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
