Ingredients

12 slice white bread

24 uncooked peeled prawns

3 green onions, finely chopped

2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon chopped coriander

1 egg white

1 teaspoon cornflour

1 teaspoon soy sauce

2 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 cup sesame seeds

3 cup vegetable oil, to deep-fry

plum sauce, to serve

Method

1.Using a 6cm cutter, cut bread into 24 rounds. Using a food processor blitz prawns, onion, ginger, coriander, egg white, cornflour, soy sauce and sesame oil until almost smooth. Season with salt and white pepper.

2.Place sesame seeds on a plate. Spread one side of each bread piece with prawn mixture. Dip bread, prawn-side down, in seeds to coat.

3.Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over moderate heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing oil). Deep-fry bread, in batches, for 1-2 minutes or until golden and cooked. Using a slotted spoon, transfer toast to paper towels to drain. Serve with plum sauce.

Instead of prawns, you could use chicken thigh fillets. If you don’t have a round cutter, cut bread into small triangles. To discard oil, cool completely then place in a plastic bag and discard. Never pour oil down the sink.
