Prawn and Chicken Toast

If you have leftover bread, this is a good way to use them up. I had a gathering on Saturday and this was made as an appetizer and snack since the cooking was taking some time.

This recipe is a little time consuming, but the outcome and taste of this dish is yum!

Ingredients:

Prawns 
Chicken Breast/Thigh or even mince
Spring onion
Fish Sauce
Bread
Cooking Oil
Egg
White Sesame Seeds


For the measurements of this recipe.. The ratio is used for  Chicken to Prawn was 5 to 3. As for why there is so many options on the type of chicken is simple because you have to process the chicken and get this all sliced up. I used Chicken Breast and Tiger Sea Prawns and because I don't have a food processor, I simply used my knife and chopped away. Tedious, but it gets the job done. Plus I like to have some texture and chew in my food so having chunks of meat around to bite on was nice. 

When I made this, I used 500g of chicken and 300g of prawns. You can always choose the ratio you like, for example, if you prefer for prawns, add more, if you're allergic to prawns, just stick with chicken all the way. It's really flexible. Oh yes, I used one eggs and around slightly less than one tablespoon of fish sauce. 

• Step 1, cut up or process the chicken and prawns 

• Step 2, cut up the spring onions 
• Step 3, Mix the chicken, prawn, spring onion, fish sauce and egg together
• Step 4, (OPTIONAL) Take your bread loaf and slice off the edges

Because you're using stale bread, the edged are generally already harden and it would be difficult to bite into. I save the edged and usually eat them together with soup :)

• Step 5, Pour out the sesame seeds on to a plate. 
• Step 6, Evenly spread the mixture of chicken and prawn onto the slices of bread.
• Step 7,  Press the bread down over the plate of sesame seeds to coat it evenly. Or scatter the seeds over the bread, but ensure you press the seeds down to stick to the mixture if not they will fall out.
• Step 8, Pour a generous amount of oil over a pan and heat
• Step 8, When the oil is heated, with the sesame side facing downwards, place it into the pan to cook the mixture. 

Please don't flip the slices over and fry the bread side. With the amount of oil, the bread will soak it up and you will be biting into a soggy piece of oily bread, 

• Step 9, Ensure that the mixture has bee completely cooked and serve on a plate. 

This recipe used up an entire big loaf of bread. If you live in Sydney, you know the $2 Woolworths bread? Yep, I used up that entire loaf and I still had leftover mixture. I stored the leftovers and fried them as little patties the next day.
