Prawn toasts with black vinegar and chilli dipping sauce

From: gourmettraveller.com.au
SERVES 10

500 gm medium uncooked prawns
3 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander
1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
1 eggwhite
1 tsp each soy sauce, sesame oil and cornflour
12 thick slices of white bread
To sprinkle: black and white sesame seeds
For deep-frying: vegetable oil
Black vinegar and chilli dipping sauce
80 ml (1/3 cup) Chinkiang vinegar
60 ml (¼ cup) light soy sauce
1 long red chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp finely grated ginger
1 tbsp finely chopped coriander
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp caster sugar

For black vinegar and chilli dipping sauce, place ingredients in a bowl, stir to combine and set aside.

Process ingredients except bread, sesame seeds and vegetable oil in a food processor until smooth and season to taste. Spread onto bread, cut off crusts and cut each piece in half diagonally. Scatter with sesame seeds and gently press them into the prawn mixture.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or a deep-sided frying pan to 180C. Fry toasts in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crisp (3-4 minutes; be careful, hot oil will spit), then drain on absorbent paper. Serve hot with black vinegar and chilli dipping sauce.
