Suyins Shrimp Toast

I love shrimp toast from the Chinese restaurants. Some restaurants make them really well and some do not. I love to cook and wanted to give it a try. I set out my search for a good tasting recipe. After trying several, I came up with my own! My recipe will knock your socks off! I have to stop myself from eating them before I finish my batch.

INGRIDIENT

5 slices white bread

1 egg, beaten

¼ cup diced celery

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder

1 pinch red pepper flakes, or more to taste

½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

¼ (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained

2 large green onions, chopped

1 large clove garlic, minced

1 (3/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, peeled, or more to taste

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

6 cups peanut oil for frying

5 teaspoons sweet red chili sauce, or to taste

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lay bread slices on a tray.

Step: 2

Combine egg, celery, parsley, soy sauce, rice vinegar, cornstarch, salt, sesame oil, garlic powder, baking powder, black pepper, five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Mix well.

Step: 3

Place shrimp, water chestnuts, green onions, garlic, and ginger in a food processor. Pulse into a chunky paste. Stir into the egg mixture until combined.

Step: 4

Place a generous dollop of the shrimp paste on each piece of bread; spread evenly towards the crusts using the back of a spoon. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, pressing them into the paste. Cut each bread slice into 2 to 4 triangles.

Step: 5

Fry bread slices, paste side-down, in the preheated oil, until edges are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and fry until other side is crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
