Shrimp Filling
- 500 g raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 egg white
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp chicken powder
- 1 tsp YumYum seasoning
- 1 tsp sugar

Instructions
Prep the shrimp mix
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel, then roughly chop.
- In a bowl, combine shrimp, egg white, sesame oil, chicken powder, YumYum seasoning, sugar, cornstarch, garlic, ginger and Shaoxing wine.
- Mix until it forms a sticky paste not completely smooth, just slightly chunky for texture.
Build the toasts
- Divide the shrimp mixture evenly and spread it over half of the bread slices, edge to edge.
- Top each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches. Press down gently so they stick together.
Fry time
- Heat oil in a wok or deep pan to 170 °C / 340 °F.
- Fry the sandwiches in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
- Flip and cook the other side for another minute or so, until both sides are evenly browned.
- Remove and drain on paper towels to keep them crisp.
Serve & dunk
- Cut each sandwich diagonally into halves or quarters your choice depending on the vibe (classic triangles or bite-sized squares).
- Serve hot with Chilli sauce or sriracha mix with a side of kewpie mayo for dipping.
