Home Made Sesame Prawn Toast!

There's a big gap between real Chinese food and the sugary MSG laced stuff that most takeaways sell, but I still love a bit of prawn toast. Forget buying it from a takeaway, though, when you can easily make far, far better quality stuff at home.

Get some uncooked prawns, and either blend them, or do it with a knife, which is really satisfying. Lay the prawns out on a chopping board, get a large sharp knife, and just chop away until it's a lumpy pulp. Then throw it in a bowl. Fine chop some spring onions, and mix them in the bowl with the prawns, plus a small dash of soy sauce and a little beaten egg to help it stick.

I chop you good!

Get some white sliced bread that you've dried in the oven (low temperature for a while until it's a bit crispy), and coat one side with your prawn mixture, patting it down so that it sticks to the bread. Then coat with sesame seeds, and pat them down so that they stick.

Then simply deep fry the bread for a couple of minutes until a nice brown colour, cut into 2 or 4, and serve with soy sauce or sweet chilli sauce for dipping. Better than from a takeaway!

This is Sesame Prawn Toast, in case you weren't paying attention

Get googling for variations on the recipe, you can't really go wrong! Different versions include adding a bit of pork mince or chicken in with the prawns (since prawns aren't always cheap). You can also experiment with adding a little bit of chilli, a sprinkle of finely chopped coriander or Thai fish sauce into the mixture. I've chopped up a bit of salmon or scallops in with the prawn mixture before. It's always come out tasty.
