A Chinese classic reworked by adding a few herbs, spices and seeds.

Ingredients

22 large raw prawns, peeled, deveined

3 green shallots, finely sliced

2 Tbsp finely chopped ginger

1 Tbsp light soy sauce

1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar

1⁄2 tsp sesame oil

1⁄2 tsp sea-salt flakes

1⁄2 tsp white sugar

200g firm white fish fillet, boneless, skinless, diced

4 free-range egg whites

120ml pure cream

Vegetable oil, for deep frying

1⁄2 cup white sesame seeds

4 Tbsp black sesame seeds

18 slices white sourdough ciabatta, 1cm thick

3 whole shiso leaves, plus extra 3 finely sliced

1⁄2 cup Kewpie mayonnaise

4 sprigs coriander, leaves picked

1 long green chilli, finely chopped

Lemon cheeks, to serve

Method

  1. Cut 18 prawns horizontally, put on a plate and refrigerate.

  2. Finely chop remaining prawns and put in a large mixing bowl. Add shallots, ginger, soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, salt and sugar. Mix ingredients well. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

  3. Place fish in bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add 1 egg white, pulse until smooth. Add cream, pulse until combined. Transfer to chopped prawn mixture and stir to combine.

  4. Pour oil into a medium deep saucepan until 5cm deep. Heat to 170°C on a cook’s thermometer.

  5. Mix together both sesame seeds on a dinner plate. Spread 1 Tbsp prawn mixture on each slice of bread. Put 2 prawn halves on top, pressing firmly to secure.

  6. Lightly whisk remaining egg whites in a shallow bowl until foamy. Dip underside of bread into egg white, then press into seeds. Turn bread
    and press prawn side into seeds.

  7. Deep-fry bread, prawn side down first, for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.

  8. Arrange whole shiso leaves on a platter, top with toast. Drizzle with mayonnaise, then garnish with coriander, extra sliced shiso and chilli. Serve with lemon cheeks on the side.
