All of the goodness of prawn toast in one perfect little bite! This recipe uses the same prawn mousse you might find on a slice of classic prawn toast, but rolled in panko and fried until crispy. Dunk it in a salty-spicy fermented chilli dip for the perfect snack.

Ingredients

  • 1⅔ cups (100 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 cups (500

Method

To make the prawn balls, place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz to form a smooth paste.

Place the breadcrumbs on a baking tray. Using wet hands, roll 1 tablespoon of the prawn paste into a ball, then roll the ball in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining paste.
