The secret to this semi-traditional dim sum favorite is a butter-studded shrimp mousse that comes together quickly in a food processor with just five ingredients.
Ingreadients:
- 8 ounces peeled and deveined raw large shrimp
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, divided
- 6 (3/4-ounce) white bread slices (such as Pepperidge Farm White Sandwich Bread), crusts removed
- Canola oil, for frying
- 1/2 scallion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek
- Thinly sliced scallion, for garnish
Direction
- Combine shrimp, egg, and salt in a food processor; process until smooth, about 15 seconds, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Add butter and 2 teaspoons sesame seeds; pulse until smooth with flecks of butter remaining, about 7 times. Spread 1/4 cup shrimp mousse on each bread slice.
- Pour oil into a large nonstick skillet to a depth of 1/8 inch; heat over medium until shimmering, about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Working in batches, add bread slices, mousse side down; cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Flip toasts; cook until browned and mousse is firm to the touch, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Stir together chopped scallion, soy sauce, vinegar, sambal oelek, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds in a small bowl. Cut each toast into 8 triangles; transfer to a platter or board. Serve soy sauce mixture with toasts. Garnish toasts with sliced scallion, and serve.
