Chinese shrimp toast
Chinese shrimp toast is a delicious appetizer that originated in Cantonese cuisine. It typically consists of a mixture of minced shrimp, seasonings, and sometimes water chestnuts or other ingredients, spread onto bread slices. The bread is then coated with sesame seeds and deep-fried until golden and crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 slices white bread
- 1/4 cup water chestnuts finely chopped (optional)
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste or minced ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic paste or minced garlic
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Toasted sesame seeds for coating
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until finely minced.
- Transfer the minced shrimp to a mixing bowl, and add the water chestnuts (if using), green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Cut the crusts off the bread slices, and then cut each slice into four triangles.
- Take a spoonful of the shrimp mixture and spread it evenly onto one side of each bread triangle.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds onto a plate, and gently press the shrimp-coated side of each bread triangle onto the sesame seeds, ensuring they stick to it.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the shrimp toast, shrimp side down, into the hot oil (in batches if necessary). Fry until golden and crispy, usually for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Once cooked, remove the shrimp toast from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the Chinese shrimp toast hot and crispy, either as a standalone appetizer or with your favorite dipping sauce.
