Sesame Shrimp Toasts
- 6 ounces cooked peeled and dried with a kitchen towel shrimp, (Fresh is what I use)
- 34 inch fresh gingerroot, grated
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 Small sized egg white, beaten well
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 14 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 4 slices thin, medium sandwich bread, crusts removed ((The slices are 8 cm x 8 cm so if you use bigger slices you will need to increase the qty of ingred)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- vegetable oil
- Place the shrimp, ginger and garlic in a mini chopper and whizz until finely ground.
- Add the cornstarch, Chinese five-spice powder and salt until well blended.
- Whisk the egg white until frothy.
- Add this to the above mix a little at a time till you get a paste that can be applied.
- Add more cornflour if required.
- Spread the mixture evenly on to the bread, then sprinkle the sesame seeds on top, pressing them in firmly with the fingertips.
- Cut each slice into 4 squares, fingers or triangles.
- Heat about 4 tbsp of oil in a frying pan; when hot, reduce the heat before adding the toasts.
- Cook shrimp side down for 4 minutes until golden, then turn and cook the other side- you might need a little more oil.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
