Instructions
- 1
In a food processor, add prawn meat (ensure dry), scallions, grated ginger, egg, cornstarch, salt and pepper and blend until well combined. If you dont have a food processor, you can use a knife to mince your prawns instead. Then mix prawn paste with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl by hand. Note: If your prawn paste seems too wet, add some cornstarch.

Cut off the crust of each bread slice using a bread knife. Then cut each slice into two sticks. Spread 1-2 spoonfuls of prawn paste onto each bread stick.

Fill a pan with about 1.5cm of oil and heat over medium-high heat. We want just enough oil to cover half of the prawn toast so that we will be shallow frying instead of deep frying the toasts.

Once oil is hot enough, add prawn toasts in, with the prawn paste side down. Once the prawn paste turns golden, flip the toast over to fry the bread side. Once the bread turns golden brown and crispy, remove and drain away excess oil on paper towels.
