Ingredients

  • 165g pack king prawns
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 spring onions, 1 roughly chopped, 1 finely sliced, plus extra to garnish
  • 1 tsp finely grated ginger
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp honey
  • pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (a mix of black and white works well)
  • chopped chives, chopped

Method

  1. Put the prawns, garlic, roughly chopped spring onion, the ginger, egg white, soy sauce, honey and chilli flakes (if using) in a food processor with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until smooth, then spoon into a bowl and keep chilled until needed.

  2. Heat the air-fryer to 180C. Meanwhile, brush one side of each slice of bread with sesame oil. Put half the bread in the air-fryer basket and cook for 2-3 mins until golden. Repeat with the rest. If you have two baskets or a large air-fryer, you may be able to do this in one go.

  3. Remove the toasted bread from the air-fryer, and divide the prawn mixture between the pieces, spreading it on in a thick layer. Scatter each piece with sesame seeds, then cut into four or eight small triangles. The uncooked toasts will keep frozen in an airtight container for up to three months. Cook the toasts in a single layer, in batches, for 2-3 mins at 180C (or 6-8 mins from frozen) until lightly golden and cooked through. Arrange on a platter and scatter over extra spring onions and chopped chives to garnish, if you like.
