Sorry BeccaNurse, Typed your name wrong. Just noticed.

Thank's martino, as you can tell by my posts I'm always in a hurry. I write then dash off and do something then return, write again most of the time I write a recipe I assume every-one knows how to prepare so I shorten it unless they ask for it in full. You are a gem.

thanks martino and blondie...will give it a go!

Sorry BeccaNurse I should have known better but I could not resist. Well done Blondie!

Just a some small but obvious points that you wont miss but in case someone else misreads the way to do it I added some extra notes below. These notes are meant as a guide not a contradiction to Blondies method.

1 fresh as in uncooked but deveined and shelled
2 use day old sliced white bread
3 press down and out when spreading the mix on until even
4 By mix read blitz in a hand blender
5 when pasted cut crusts off bread
6 after 2/3 min frying turn over to brown tother side
7 remove onto kitchen paper
8 must be eaten straight away. dont try to keep warm in oven for more than say half an hour

Beeanurse, these are not Ainsley,s but these are the chinese ones I do. Mix some fresh prawns with a little shortening untill you form a paste add alittle salt,pepper, white of an egg approx 1/2 teaspoon spring chopped onion and 1 chopped small piece of chopped ginger and cornflour mixed to a paste.. it's always best to use bread that's a bit stale. Spread prawn mixture on bread very thickly , press sesame seeds on top. Cut into triangles. Fry or deep fried with prawn side down 2/3 min's. they should be nice and golden brown. Do-not try to cook to many at once.
