FRIDAY NIGHT FEAST

King prawn sesame toast

Prawn toast is one of my favourite takeaway starters. I love the combination of the juicy prawns with the crispy bread and crunchy sesame seeds – it’s such a flavour explosion. Prawn toast originated from Guangzhou (the largest Cantonese-speaking region in China) and is therefore a popular Hong Kong dish (as Cantonese is the predominant language in Hong Kong). Here, I’ve pared it down to the basic method – I promise you it is super tasty.

■ Makes 4 slices ■ Prep 10 mins ■ Cook 15 mins

4 tbsp black sesame seeds
4 tbsp white sesame seeds
300g king prawns, peeled and deveined (divided into 200g and 100g)
3 tsp cornflour
