Simple Prawn Toast Recipe
This Simple Prawn Toast Recipe is so good. It will definitely become a regular once you make them.
Simple Prawn Toast
It is one of those snack or starter recipes found in Chinese restaurants. But homemade is always better.
If I say it’s simple I mean that. You just whizz up some prawns with a few ingredients, in a food processor.
The prawn mixture is spread on top of bread and dipped in sesame seeds.
For me personally this is something you have to fry. I suppose it can be brushed with some oil and airfryed but frying them definitely yields better tasting prawn toast.
We only live once so some prawn toast every once in a while, fried in some oil, can’t do that much harm. Everything in moderation.
I promise when you make these you won’t want to stop eating them. I simply love these.
You’ve got to eat them fresh out the pan, that’s when it tastes best. And of course a dip always adds that little extra to the mix.
A sweet chilli sauce is perfect as a dip and store bought will do. Who has time to make everything from scratch…not me…haha!
This prawn toast is made a little differently to the way most people make them.
I am Indian so I always have to add my little touch of spiciness to everything.
However, you can totally omit the chilli if you wish to. Unlike baking you don’t have to follow a recipe strictly.
It is perfectly ok to change a recipe to suit your own tastebuds.
Remember, everyday is a special occasion so eat that deep fried prawn toast. Don’t wait for a “special occasion” to make it.

Simple Prawn Toast Recipe
Ingredients
- 200 gram prawn "meat"
- 1 large egg white
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon green chilli paste
- 1 teaspoon chilli oil
- 1/4 teaspoon castor sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon finely sliced spring onion
- 4 slices white sandwich bread crusts removed
- 6 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 3 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the raw prawns, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, chilli paste, egg white and chilli oil and castor sugar to a food processor and blitz until it forms a paste, about 30 seconds.
- Add the mixture to a bowl and add the cornflour, chilli oil, spring onion, salt and pepper. Mix everything until combined.
- Remove the crust from the bread. Divide the prawn mixture into 4 equal portions and spread each portion onto the bread.
- Place the sesame seeds in a flat plate, spreading them evenly. Press the bread into the sesame seeds, prawn side down. Ensure the bread is evenly coated.
- Cut the bread into 4 triangles. Place on a platter until ready to fry.
- Heat the oil in a pan or a wok, on medium to high heat. Test the oil by placing a small piece of bread into the oil. If it sizzles then you know the oil is hot enough.
- Fry the triangles in batches, paste side down. It will take about 2 minutes for the prawn side and about 1 minute on the other side. The bread should be golden brown and crisp and the prawn must be cooked through.
- Place the fried toast on a platter lined with paper towels, to soak up any excess oil.
- Sprinkle more spring onion on top and serve with sweet chilli sauce.
