Perfect for serving with salads or as a starter, prawn toasts are always a crowd-pleaser.

500g green prawns
100g pork mince
4 spring onions, finely chopped
225g can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 tbs grated ginger
1 eggwhite
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp sugar
12 slices white bread, slightly stale
½ cup sesame seeds
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Method

1.

Process prawns in a food processor until a paste forms. Add mince, onion, chestnuts, ginger, eggwhite, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar. Pulse to combine.
2.

Cut 2 rounds from each bread slice using a 5cm-round cutter. Place onto a tray. Spread with prawn mixture. Place sesame seeds onto a plate and press rounds, prawn-side down, into the seeds to coat.
3.

Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully lower rounds, in batches, into hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain. Serve.
