Leeann Chin Shrimp Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Remove crusts from the bread.

• Cut bread from corner to corner twice, to form small triangles.
• Heat oil in wok and fry toasts, sesame side up, for 4 to 5 min, until golden. WARNING: WATCH THEM CAREFULLY. THEY MAY TAKE CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN 4 MIN TO BECOME GOLDEN.
• Drain toasts thoroughly.
• Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel shrimp. (If shrimp is frozen, do not thaw; peel under running cold water.) Make a shallow cut lengthwise down back of each shrimp; wash out sand vein. Cut shrimp lengthwise into halves; cut crosswise into halves.
• Mix shrimp, green onions, flour, water, egg, cornstarch, salt, sugar. sesame oil and white pepper.
• Heat vegetable oil (1-1/2 inches) in wok to 350 degrees. Remove crusts from bread; cut each slice into 4 squares. Place 1 or 2 pieces of shrimp with sauce on each bread square.
• Fry 5 squares at a time until golden brown, turning frequently - about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
• Do-ahead instructions: Prepare Shrimp Toast; cover and refrigerate no longer than 24 hours. Just before serving, heat uncovered in 400 degree oven until hot for 12 - 15 minutes. Drain on paper towel.

Steps:

• Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
• Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
• Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
• Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.
