Ingredients: (Serves 4)
225 g/8 oz peeled raw shrimp (prawns)
15 ml/1 tablespoon sherry
15 ml/1 tablespoon soy sauce
30 ml/2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
2 egg whites
4 slices white bread
115 g/4 oz/0.5 cup sesame seeds
Oil, for deep-frying
Sweet Thai chili sauce, to serve
Method:
1.
Process the shrimp, sherry, soy sauce and cornflour in a food processor to
make a shrimp paste. In a grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until
stiff. Fold them into the shrimp and cornflour mixture.
2. Cut
each slice of bread into four triangular quarters. Spread out the sesame
seeds on a large plate. Spread the shrimp paste over one side of each
bread triangle, then press the coated sides into the sesame seeds so that
they stick and cover the shrimp paste.
3. Heat
the oil in a wok or deep-fryer, to 190oC/375oF or
until a cube of bread, added to the oil, browns in about 45 seconds. Add
the toasts, a few at a time, shrimp side down, and deep-fry for 2-3
minutes, then turn and fry on the other side until golden.
4. Drain
on kitchen paper and serve hot with sweet chili sauce.
