Shrimp Toast

Shrimp toast is a Chinese dish, which is an excellent appetizer or just a snack when you feel hungry. I tried this recipe a while ago and was very satisfied with the results.




To make this delicious treat, you will need the following:

• 1 pound cooked shrimp
• teaspoon fresh ginger root
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 12 slices day old bread, crusts removed
• 1 quart canola oil

First you have to mix the shrimp with the ginger, salt, cornstarch, oyster sauce and eggs in a bowl.
Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet and spread the shrimp mixture over each slice of bread. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes. Heat the oil to 185 °C. You can use a wok or just a deep fryer to do that.
Drop the bread carefully into the hot oil with the shrimps facing down and fry until it's golden brown. Now just remove the shrimp toast from the oil, drain it on paper towels and serve.
