Air Fryer Shrimp Toast (Crispy And Not Oily!)
This Chinese Air Fryer Shrimp Toast is crispy on the outside and not at all oily. Ever since I tried this method, I never deep-fried them again. It's easy to make and only takes 6 minutes to cook.
Ingredients
For The Shrimp Paste
- 225 g (½ a pound) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 large egg white
- 1 scallion (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced)
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 pinch ground white pepper
For The Toast
- 4 pieces white bread
- ½ cup raw sesame seeds
For serving
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor. Blend for 2-3 minutes until you get a smooth and sticky paste. If you like a chunkier texture, you can leave some of the shrimp out and mix it in after you make the paste.
- Spread the shrimp paste evenly on four slices of bread. Try to spread it all the way to the edge and at a uniform thickness everywhere so it cooks evenly.
- Spread sesame seeds on a plate and press the shrimp side onto it to make the seeds stick.
- Brush a little oil on both sides of the bread. Don't worry, the sesame seeds won't fall off.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Cook with the shrimp side up for 3 minutes, then flip and air-fry the bread side for another 3 minutes. Cut each toast into four slices and serve right away. In Hong Kong, it is traditional to sprinkle on some cilantro or scallions and serve with a side of mayonnaise for dipping.
