Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp sweet soy sauce
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 3 tsp thai chilli sauce
  • 2 tbsp fresh peeled ginger
  • 1 tsp peeled garlic
  • 1/2 cup green onion / scallions
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups Black + white sesame seeds
  • 1 loaf day-old sourdough or white bread
  • 2 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Add your shrimp, egg whites, salt, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, Thai chili sauce, ginger, garlic, green onions, and vinegar to a large blender and pulse until mostly combined. Feel free to leave chunks of shrimp.
  • Slice your bread into 8 pieces, and then slice each piece in half to make triangles.
  • Spread each triangle of bread with a dollop of shrimp mixture, spreading evenly onto the bread.
  • After your bread is prepared, spread your white and black sesame seeds in alternating stripes on a large cutting board. Carefully place each of your shrimp toast triangles shrimp-side down onto the sesame seeds. Be careful not to disturb the other seeds.
  • Heat a large wok with vegetable or peanut oil until hot (about 350°F). Place 3-5 pieces of shrimp toast in your hot oil, carefully, sesame seed side down.
  • Fry each batch of shrimp toast for 2-3 minutes on a side until golden brown. Drain on a wire rack or a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Serve with soy sauce, chili mayonnaise, or duck sauce. Garnish with extra green onions.
