Ingredients
Scale
For Shrimp Toast:
- 8 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 8 oz raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, finely chopped or pulsed in a food processor)
- 1 egg white
- 1 green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Neutral oil for frying (such as canola or vegetable)
For Serving:
- Sweet chili sauce or soy-vinegar dip
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine finely chopped shrimp, egg white, green onion, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, cornstarch, and white pepper. Mix until a sticky paste forms.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the shrimp mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. Sprinkle the shrimp side with sesame seeds and press lightly to help them stick. Cut each slice diagonally into two triangles.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully place the toasts shrimp-side down into the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook the bread side for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or a soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
Notes
- Make sure the shrimp mixture is well blended to stick properly to the bread.
- You can prepare the shrimp mixture ahead of time and assemble just before frying.
- Air frying is also possible at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
