Prawns on Toast

By Ying Bower

This Thai version of the Chinese restaurant staple tastes so much better when you make it at home!

Ingredients: 15 raw prawns 1 egg, beaten Pinch of black pepper Small clove of garlic Small bunch of coriander stalks 2 tsp of soya sauce 1 tbsp of oyster sauce 4 slices of white bread, each cut into four squares or triangles.

Method: 1. Pound the garlic, black pepper and coriander stalk to a paste in a pestle and mortar. 2. Finely chop the raw prawns and then mix them together with the garlic, black pepper and coriander paste. 3. Add the egg, soya sauce and oyster sauce to the mixture, mix well together and leave it one side. 4. Cut the bread into the shapes you prefer. 5. Spread the prawn mixture on each piece of bread and decorate with coriander leaf. 6. Heat the oil in a pan to around 80°C so you can deep fry the toasts on a medium to high heat. Place them prawn side down first to fry for a few minutes then turn to crisp up the other side: keep turning the toasts till they are golden, remove from the pan and decorate with sesame seeds.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
