• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 12 toasts
• Serves: 3-4

ingredients

• 300 g prawns
• 43 g sesame seeds
• 8 slices white bread
• 4 large eggs
• oil, to fry
• sesame oil, if possible

directions

1. Take the prawns-if they are frozen,make sure they are completely defrosted and drained,place them in a bowl an mash them to a pulp.
2. cut the crusts off the bread.
3. seperate the eggyolks and whites,discard the yolks and whisk the whites in a bowl.
4. make "sanwiches" with the crustless bread,using the pulped prawns,roll thin with a rolling pin (a drink bottle full of water works well for those without a rolling pin).
5. place the sesame seeds in a dish.
6. cover the bottom of a non stick frying pan with oil (sesame seed oil is tastiest-but a splash added with surfice as this is expensive and strong in flavour) and heat on a medium flame.
7. cut each "sanwich into 4 triangles and dip in the egg white untill thoroughly soaked.
8. dip in the sesame seeds.
9. fry each "toast" for 2-3 mins a side or untill golden.
10. serve and enjoy- a sweet chillie dip or soy completes the dish!
