Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Pat the shrimp dry and chop them roughly. Put them in a food processor with the egg white, scallions, ginger, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt.

  2. 2

    Pulse 10-15 times to a coarse, sticky paste, scraping down the sides once. Do not purée it smooth.

  3. 3

    Cut each slice of bread diagonally into 4 triangles.

  4. 4

    Spread a thick, even layer of the shrimp paste over one side of each triangle, right to the edges.

  5. 5

    Press the paste side into the sesame seeds so it is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Pour the oil into a wok or small, deep saucepan to a depth of about 2 cm (3/4 in) and heat to 175 °C (350 °F).

  7. 7

    Fry the triangles in small batches, shrimp side down first, until the sesame seeds turn golden, 1-2 min.

  8. 8

    Flip and fry for 30-60 seconds more until the bread is crisp and the shrimp are cooked through.

  9. 9

    Drain on a rack or paper towels and serve hot.
