Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 200g fresh prawns, peeled and deveined
- 8 slices white bread or 8 slider buns
- 3 tablespoons white and black sesame seeds mixed
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the prawn mixture: Finely chop the fresh prawns by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor until a coarse paste forms. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped prawns with finely chopped spring onions, minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, egg, salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes. Mix thoroughly to create a balanced, flavorful filling.
- Assemble the toasts or buns: Trim crusts off white bread slices for a neat presentation or split slider buns in half. Spread the prawn mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice or bun half, pressing gently but firmly so the filling adheres well.
- Coat with sesame seeds: Generously sprinkle the mixed white and black sesame seeds over the prawn mixture side, pressing lightly to ensure seeds stick evenly and firmly for a crunchy coating.
- Fry to golden perfection: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place each prawn-coated bread or bun into the oil with the sesame side down. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently to keep the coating intact and avoid losing the prawn mixture.
- Assemble sliders: After frying, place the prawn toast pieces between slider buns or sandwich two toasted pieces back-to-back to form mini sandwiches. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect balance of crunch and juicy filling.
Notes
- Use fresh or properly thawed prawns for best texture and flavor.
- Removing bread crusts makes for a neater presentation.
- Press sesame seeds firmly before frying to prevent them from falling off.
- Maintain moderate frying temperature to cook through without burning the crust.
- Serve immediately for optimal crispiness and flavor.
