Fried Shrimp Toast
Description
Fried Shrimp Toast is a popular dim sum dish from Chinese cuisine. Fresh shrimp is blended into a smooth paste and spread over slices of crustless white bread. The bread is then cut into triangles and deep-fried until golden and crispy, creating a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredients
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, roughly chopped (225 g)
Instructions
-
Combine the shrimp, egg white, cornstarch, salt, white pepper, garlic, and sugar in a food processor and blend until a smooth shrimp paste forms.
-
Spread an even layer of the shrimp paste on one side of each bread slice.
-
Cut each slice diagonally into two triangles and press the paste gently so it adheres to the bread.
-
Place the prepared toast pieces on a tray and freeze for at least 10 minutes to firm up the paste.
-
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C) and fry the toast pieces in small batches for 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy.
-
Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
