➡️ Recipe: Shrimp Toast (Fried or Air fried)
Makes 4 toasts – serves 4
* 1 lb fresh or thawed shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 8 slices of white bread
* 1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
* 2 tbsp cornstarch
* 1 egg white
* ½ tbsp soy sauce
* 1 tsp sesame oil
* 1/4 tsp baking soda
* 1/8 tsp ginger powder
* 1/8 tsp white pepper
* Neutral oil for frying or air frying
Dipping sauce—
* 3 tbsp Kewpie mayo
* 1 tsp Soy sauce
* 1 tbsp Sambal chili paste or sriracha
1. If not using a food processor to make the shrimp paste, use a big cleaver to smash each peeled and deveined shrimp into a thin layer on a cutting board. Finely minced the shrimp and continue until each shrimp is processed. Once all of the paste has formed, finely chop the shrimp paste for a finer mince.
2. To the shrimp paste combine green onions, cornstarch, egg white, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger powder, and white pepper. Mix well with your hands for 2 minutes to get the consistency more bouncy and chewy.
3. Trim off the crust from the milk/white bread.
4. Split the shrimp paste into 4 equal parts (you can also make up to 6 servings/toasts) and spread it on one piece of bread, evenly. Top the second piece of bread on top. (Optional: cut the toast in half to ensure it’s cooked evenly)
5. FRYING: Heat cooking oil to 300F and gently add one fully toast into the oil. Fry for 5-6 mins on each side or until the crust is a deep golden color and shrimp paste is cooked through.
6. AIR FRYER: Generously spray avocado oil (or cooking oil) on both sides of the toast. Set air fryer to 350F to cook the toast for 14-16 mins. Flip the toast half way through the cooking time for a golden toast on each side.
*Internal temperature should be 145F*
7. In a small bowl combine Kewpie mayo, soy sauce, and sambal chili paste together. Mix well.
8. Slice the toasted in half and serve with mayo dipping sauce. Enjoy!
