Ingredients
- 250 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 large egg white
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons spring onion, finely chopped
- 4 slices whole wheat bread slices
- 50 grams white sesame seeds
- 100 milliliters sunflower oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Start by chopping the prawns into small pieces and placing them into a food processor.
Step 2
Add the egg white, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and spring onion to the food processor.
Step 3
Process the mixture until it forms a chunky paste. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture to remain.
Step 4
Spread a generous layer of the prawn mixture over each of the bread slices, ensuring an even distribution to the edges.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly over the prawn mixture, gently pressing them into the paste with your fingers.
Step 6
Heat the sunflower oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Carefully place the bread slices, prawn side down, into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the prawn mixture is golden and cooked through.
Step 8
Flip the bread slices to briefly toast the other side, approximately 1 minute.
Step 9
Remove the prawn toasts from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Step 10
Slice each toast diagonally and serve warm. Enjoy your high protein sesame prawn toast!
