What it is
These prawn toasts are a popular appetizer, often found in Chinese takeaways. They consist of a seasoned mixture of chopped prawns spread onto slices of bread. The bread is then typically cut into triangles and deep-fried until golden brown and crispy. The prawn mixture is usually seasoned with ingredients like garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, creating a savory and slightly sweet filling that complements the crunchy bread.

To prepare these prawn toasts, preheat your oven or air fryer to the recommended temperature. Place the prawn toasts on a baking tray or in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for the specified time, turning them halfway through if necessary, until they are heated through and the bread is crisp and golden. Be careful not to overcook them, as this can make the bread too hard. They are best served immediately after cooking.
