Ingredients

  • 2 qt canola oil (1.8 g)
  • 16 shrimps, peeled and deveined
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus more for serving
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar

  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ cup white sesame seeds (35 g)

How to Make It

1. Step
Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet and place nearby.
2. Step
In a food processor, combine the shrimp, egg whites, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sambal, garlic, ginger, salt, and scallion whites and pulse until smooth.
3. Step
Trim the crusts off the bread, then cut diagonally into triangles.
4. Step
Spread 2 tablespoons of the shrimp paste evenly over each triangle of bread. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the shrimp paste.
5. Step
Add the shrimp toasts, 3 at a time, to the hot oil, shrimp side down. Fry until the shrimp turns pink and the sesame seeds are light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the toast over and fry on the other side until the bread is golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to the wire rack and let drain for 1 minute.
6. Step
Garnish the shrimp toast with the scallion greens and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
