# Steps:
01 -
Combine shrimp, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, egg white, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a cohesive but slightly chunky paste forms.
02 -
Spread a generous layer of shrimp paste onto one slice of bread, then top with a second slice to form a sandwich. Gently press to adhere the filling and ensure a firm shape.
03 -
Cut each sandwich into four equal squares. Lightly brush the top of each square with water, then press the moistened side into sesame seeds for an even coating.
04 -
Heat approximately 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange squares sesame seed side down and fry for about 2 minutes per side, turning until uniformly golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
05 -
Sprinkle with chopped chives or additional green onion. Serve hot accompanied by sweet chili sauce, sriracha mayo, or soy-vinegar dip.
# Notes:
01 -
Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet, ensuring even browning and crispness.
02 -
For best results, serve immediately while hot and crunchy.
