Method

• Place the prawns, ginger, egg white, spring onions, Black Garlic Paste, soy sauce, cornflour, pepper and salt into a food processor. Pulse until a paste is formed.
• Spread the prawn mixture very thickly on top of the slices of bread.
• Put the sesame seeds onto a large plate. Place each slice of bread, prawn paste side down, onto the sesame seeds.  Press the sesame seeds into the prawn paste.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or deep frying pan. When hot, fry the slices of bread one slice at a time, paste side down, for 2 minutes. Turn over and fry for a further minute until the bread is golden and the prawn paste is cooked.
• Drain on kitchen paper.
• Keep the sesame prawn toasts warm in an oven set to low temperature, until all the slices of bread have been fried. Place each prawn toast onto a chopping board and cut into 4 triangles.

To Serve: serve immediately with hoisin sauce for dipping.

Top Tip: to check if the oil is hot enough drop in a small piece of bread. If it sizzles when the bread hits the oil then the oil is up to temperature.
