Chinese Chicken Toast

A take on the classic Chinese prawn toast, this starter is ideal for non seafood eaters.

 what you’ll need

250 gm chicken mince

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

2 teaspoons soy sauce

3 - 4 thick slices white bread

Sesame seeds

Chives or spring onions

Oil for frying

Method

In a bowl combine mince, ginger, garlic and soy. Add chopped chives or spring onions, mix well.

Liberally spread the bread with the chicken mixture.

Spread sesame seeds onto a plate. Press the chicken side of the bread firmly into the sesame seeds.

Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry the bread slices, with the chicken side down for 2 minutes, or until the sesame seeds are golden, turn over and cook until bread is crisped and golden. Remove and drain on kitchen towel.

Cut each slice into 3 fingers and serve with sweet and sour sauce.

Tips:

 * The chicken toast can be cooked before hand and kept well covered in the fridge. When ready to serve, place in a 200oC preheated oven for 5 minutes. Toast will be crunchy again!

* Chicken mixture can be made several hours before cooking. Add chives or spring onions just before cooking.
