Ingredients
  • 4 Meadium-thick slices
Directions
  1. 1
    Ensure the white bread slices are completely dry; if necessary, toast them lightly under a low grill until crisp but not browned.
  2. 2
    Blanch the pork fat in boiling water for a few minutes, then drain thoroughly and chop it finely.
  3. 3
    Roughly chop the peeled cooked prawns and mash them in a bowl until a coarse paste forms.
  4. 4
    Add the chopped pork fat, chopped parsley, and spring onions to the mashed prawns.
  5. 5
    Mix in the cornflour, salt, pepper, sugar, and a few drops of sesame oil, combining thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. 6
    Spread the prawn mixture onto the dried bread slices in a thick, even layer, molding it firmly with your fingers.
  7. 7
    Press sesame seeds onto the prawn mixture to create an even, sticky coating on all slices.
  8. 8
    Heat oil for deep frying in a large pot to 190&# 194;°C (375ðF).
  9. 9
    Carefully add the sesame-coated slices a few at a time and fry until golden brown and crisp.
  10. 10
    Remove the triangles and drain on absorbent kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
  11. 11
    Cut the fried slices into small, neat triangles and serve hot, optionally garnished with whole cooked prawns.

Note

Use dry, stale bread for best results as it absorbs less oil during frying. If fresh bread is used, toast it lightly to remove moisture.

Pork fat adds richness and texture to the filling. For a lighter variation, you may omit it or substitute with finely chopped water chestnuts for crunch.

Maintain the oil temperature at 190ðC (375ðF) to ensure the triangles fry quickly and remain crisp rather than becoming greasy.

Serve immediately after frying for the best texture. These are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
