COLES:
Sesame Prawn Toast
In 3 easy steps!
Makes 15 pieces
Prep 30 mins (+ 30 mins chilling time)
Cooking 15 mins
INGREDIENTS
2 tsp finely grated ginger
2 garlic cloves, crushed
300g Coles Thawed Australian MSC Raw Medium King Prawns, peeled, deveined
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 tsp cornflour
1 1/2 tbs soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 Coles Australian Free Range Egg white
1 Coles Bakery French Stick*, day-old
2/3 cup (100g) white sesame seeds
2 tbs black sesame seeds
Vegetable oil, to shallow-fry
Finely chopped chives, to sprinkle
1. Place the ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the prawns and pulse until a coarse paste forms.
Combine the prawn mixture, spring onion, cornflour, soy sauce, white pepper, salt, sesame oil and egg white in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 mins or until firm.
2. Trim the ends of the French stick and cut remaining bread into 2cm-thick slices. Spoon 1 tbs prawn mixture over each slice, spreading to the edges.
Combine white and black sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Dip each piece of bread, prawn-side down, in the sesame seeds to coat evenly.
3. Pour enough vegetable oil into a medium frying pan to come 3cm up side of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 180°C (when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden in 15 secs). Cook the bread, in batches, prawn-side down, for 5 mins or until sesame seeds are golden and prawn mixture is cooked through. Turn and cook for 1-2 mins or until golden underneath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
Transfer prawn toasts to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chives.
Serve with mayonnaise and chilli paste
