Prawn Toast
Notes from Mrs. M
Always a favourite appetiser for Chinese and Cantonese food, Prawn Toast is probably the most famous of all dim sum. Try to use king prawns because they are so much tastier!
Ingredients
4 slices of thick white bread
200g or 8 oz of king prawns
100g of 4 oz of water chestnuts
100g or 4 oz of pork/pork fat
30ml or 2 tbsps of sesame seeds
550ml or 1 pint of vegetable oil (for frying)
½ egg
Method:
1) Peel and gut the King Prawns, chop into very small cubes. Slice pork and fat into very small cubes, Chop the water chestnuts into very small pieces.
2) Using a chopping knife and board dice the ingredients together into a mince content, when finished, place in a large bowl and mix in the egg (this will further bind the contents together).
3) Taking the four slices of bread, remove the outer crusts. Then using a fork, spread the King Prawn content on each slice of bread, pressing firm down (make sure you do not flatten the bread).
4) Finally sprinkle some sesame seeds on the toast and now it is ready to cook.
5) Heat the vegetable oil in a wok, then place in the King Prawn toast, turning only once or twice. When they are golden brown the King prawn toast is cooked.
6) Chop the toast into equal pieces and serve with some tomatoes.
