Tofu Toast Recipe

This recipe is based on the well known prawn toast and in fact if you really wish to you can replace the tofu with the prawns. I find that the tofu's soft texture is excellent when prepared in this dish.

6 portions

Preparation Time: 10 minutes plus 15 minutes refrigeration time
Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Tofu Paste:

• 180g tofu, diced
• 1 tbsp shaoshing wine or dry sherry
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp five spice
• 2 tbsp self raising flour
• generous pinch white pepper
• generous pinch salt

Toast:

• 6 slices white bread (large medium thick), crusts removed and cut into quarters
• 5-6 tbsp sesame seeds

To Serve:

• Sweet and Sour Sauce

Method:
Tofu Paste: Place all the tofu paste ingredients in a food processor and blend it until you have a smooth paste and the ingredients are well combined. Place the tofu in a covered container for 15 minutes.

Toast: Spread the tofu paste on one side of the bread with a palate knife or knife, so that the bread is well coated and even. Repeat this with all the quarters. Place the sesame seeds on a plate and carefully coat the tofu on the bread with the sesame seeds gently pressing them in.

To Cook: Preheat oil in a deep fryer or wok to 180ÌC. Deep fry the bread in batches tofu side down, for 2-3 minutes, until the slices are golden brown. Remove them from the oil, drain them on kitchen paper and keep them warm in a low oven while you prepare the remaining slices.
