Ingredients
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ginger paste
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1 scallion, finely sliced
  • ½ pound shrimp, deveined and roughly chopped
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon + ½ teaspoon sesame oil, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅓ cup water chestnuts, finely chopped
  • 4 large slices white bread, cut into triangles
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 4 tablespoons oil, for frying
Directions
  1. Add the ginger paste, garlic, cilantro, scallion, shrimp, sugar, soy sauce, ½ teaspoon of sesame oil, black pepper, and finely diced water chestnuts to a food processor and pulse several times to make a chunky paste. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  2. Brush the tops of the bread triangles with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, then spread some of the shrimp paste onto each triangle, making sure to cover the whole of the surface.
  3. Carefully brush a little egg white onto the top of the shrimp paste, before sprinkling the toast triangles liberally with sesame seeds.
  4. Heat the frying oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, and then gently place the shrimp toast paste-side up for around 2 minutes, until the base is a lovely golden color. Then, gently flip the toast over and allow the other side to cook for 2-3 minutes, until it is a golden color and the shrimp paste is cooked though.
  5. Serve immediately, with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce.
