Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 60 grams ground pork
- 60 grams onion (chopped)
- 5 grams fresh ginger (peeled and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Potato Starch
- 1 large egg white (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Ground white pepper to taste
- 4 slices sandwich bread
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- cilantro (chopped for garnish)
- Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Chop half of the shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the rest of the shrimp to a food processor along with the pork, onion, ginger, potato starch, egg white, Shaoxing wine, toasted sesame oil, salt, and white pepper. Process until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the mixture to a bowl with the hand-chopped shrimp and fold together until the chopped shrimp is evenly distributed.
- Divide the shrimp mixture into 4 sections and spread each section onto 1 slice of bread in an even layer.
- Cut the bread into triangles or squares (clean the knife with a damp paper towel between cuts).
- Heat ½ inch of oil in a frying pan until it reaches 360°F (180°C).
- Add the shrimp toasts, shrimp-side down, and shallow fry until the edges start to brown (about 2 minutes).
- Flip the toasts over and fry until the bread side has browned and crisped.
- When the shrimp toasts are cooked, transfer them to a wire rack lined with a few sheets of paper towels with the bread-side down to drain.
- Serve the crispy shrimp toasts while hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.
