Suyin'S Shrimp Toast
- 5 slices white bread
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup diced celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste
- 1/2 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 2 large green onions, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, minced
- 1 (3/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, peeled, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 6 cups peanut oil for frying
- 5 teaspoons sweet red chili sauce, or to taste
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay bread slices on a tray.
- Combine egg, celery, parsley, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, salt, sesame oil, garlic powder, baking powder, black pepper, five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Mix well.
- Place shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor. Pulse into a chunky paste. Stir into the egg mixture until combined.
- Place a generous dollop of the shrimp paste on each piece of bread; spread evenly towards the crusts using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, pressing them into the paste. Cut each bread slice into 2 to 4 triangles.
- Fry bread slices, paste side-down, in the preheated oil, until edges are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and fry until other side is crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
