FRIDAY NIGHT FEAST

King prawn sesame toast

Prawn toast is one of my favourite takeaway starters. I love the combination of the juicy prawns with the crispy bread and crunchy sesame seeds - it's such a flavour explosion. Prawn toast originated from Guangzhou (the largest Cantonese-speaking region in China) and is therefore a popular Hong Kong dish (as Cantonese is the predominant language in Hong Kong). Here, I've pared it down to the basic method - I promise you it is super tasty.

Makes 4 slices Prep 10 mins Cook 15 mins

4 tbsp black sesame seeds

4 tbsp white sesame seeds

300g king prawns, peeled and deveined

(divided into 200g and 100g)

3 tsp cornflour

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tsp toasted sesame oil pinch of sugar large pinch of white pepper

2 spring onions, finely chopped

4 slices bread (stale white is best) vegetable oil, for frying

1 Sprinkle the sesame seeds onto a plate.

Put 200g of the prawns in the bowl of the food processor with the cornflour, ginger, sesame oil, ¹/2 tsp salt, the sugar, pepper and spring onions, and pulse until it becomes a smooth paste. Add the last 100g of prawns and blitz for a couple of pulses. If you don't have a food processor, use your biggest kitchen knife to chop up all the prawns, ginger and spring onions finely on a chopping board until they form a paste.

Put this paste into a bowl and mix in the cornflour, sesame oil, salt, sugar and pepper.
