SESAME THINS (CRACKERS)
Makes an excellent accompaniment to hummus or other spread. I just discovered that I love dipping them into garlic/onion flavored cream cheese. I also love them with soups. Sesame oil gives these crackers a strong, nutty taste. If you want a milder cracker, substitute shortening for some of the oil. Yield 6 dozen crackers. (From King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion)

- Add oil, stir until the mixture comes together.
- Add just enough water (a tablespoon at a time) to form a workable dough.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until slightly dry, about 10 minutes; let cool.
- Meanwhile, drop the garlic into a food processor through the feed tube with the motor running. Add the ginger, 1 tablespoon at a time, until minced. Scrape down the food processor, then add the chicken, egg white, rice wine, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon salt; pulse into a smooth paste.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture on each piece of toast and sprinkle with the scallions. Put the sesame seeds in a shallow bowl and dip the chicken-covered side of the toasts in the seeds. (The toasts can be covered and refrigerated at this point for up to 3 hours.)
- Heat about 1/2 inch of peanut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the toasts, chicken-side down, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Flip the toasts and cook 1 more minute. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt and serve warm.
Tips:
- To make the sesame thins extra crispy, bake them for a few minutes longer.
- If you don't have a silicone baking mat, you can use parchment paper instead.
- Make sure to use a sharp knife to slice the sesame thins, or they will be difficult to cut.
- Store the sesame thins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These toasted sesame thins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, flavorful, and can be customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious snack that is sure to please everyone.
