Ingredients
Vegan 'Prawn' Filling
- 150 g Extra Firm Tofu Make sure it's the EXTRA firm style, not squishy silken tofu.
- 2 tsps konbu stock granules
- ½ teaspoon grated or finely chopped ginger
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
To Assemble the Toasts
- 8 slices French Baguette OR plain white bread.
- 3 Tbs Sesame Seeds (you might need more...)
- 300 ml Nuetral Oil such as Sunflower *for deep frying. You might need more.
For the Dipping Sauce
- 3 Tbs Sweet Chilli Sauce
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the 'prawn' tofu filling in a food processor & whizz into a paste
- Squish the filling onto the slices of baguette. It's nice to make them a bit mounded in the middle so there is lots of lovely flavour.
- Roll and press the sesame seeds onto the filling side of the bread
- Heat a deep frying pan with the oil, making sure it is hot enough to toast a square of bread in a few seconds
- Put the toasts in one or two at a time. Prawn side up.
- Fry for a few minutes until the sesame seeds start to colour. You might need to sort of scoop a little of the oil over the top of the toasts to cook the top.
- Carefully remove from the hot oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper napkins.
- To serve, mix together the sauce & vinegar to make the dipping sauce and get your sharp elbows out to make sure you get the most slices!
