Method

  1. Add the raw prawns, ginger, garlic, egg white, spring onions, light soy sauce, salt and white pepper to a food processor and blitz until you get to a paste.
  2. Spread the prawn paste evenly across one side of each of the bread pieces. It should be roughly 1 tbsp of paste for each.
  3. Place the sesame seeds onto a container or in a shallow bowl.
  4. Dip each of the bread pieces, paste side down, into the sesame seeds so you get a nice even covering of sesame seeds on the paste.
  5. Start to fry the toasts, prawn 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.
  6. Sprinkle on some fresh, finely chopped, coriander and serve with the lime sweet chilli sauce.
