How to Make Delicious Prawn Toast in the Kmart Air Fryer

Prawn toast is a beloved Chinese starter that pairs perfectly with sweet chili sauce or soy sauce. When made in an air fryer, it turns out crispy on the outside while remaining light and flavourful on the inside – without the need for deep frying. If you’ve recently acquired a Kmart air fryer and are looking for a quick and easy recipe, look no further! Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating delicious prawn toast that’s bound to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

For the Prawn Toast:

• 200g raw prawns, peeled and deveined
• 2 slices of white bread (or wholemeal for a healthier option)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 egg (optional, for binding)
• Sesame seeds, for topping

For Serving:

• Sweet chilli sauce or soy sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Prawn Mixture

1. Chop the Prawns: Using a sharp knife, chop the prawns finely or pulse in a food processor until they form a coarse paste. Avoid overprocessing; you want some texture.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chopped prawns with minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped spring onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. If you prefer a firmer texture, add a beaten egg to the mixture for binding. Mix until well combined.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

1. Cut the Bread: Take the slices of bread and cut each one into quarters, creating small triangles. You can also leave them whole for larger bites, but smaller pieces are great for sharing.

2. Spread the Prawn Mixture: Generously spread the prawn mixture over each piece of bread, making sure to cover the surface evenly. The prawn paste should be about 1cm thick.

Step 3: Add the Sesame Seeds

1. Sprinkle Sesame Seeds: Once the prawn mixture is spread over the bread, sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top. This will give your prawn toast its characteristic crunch and lovely nutty flavour.

Step 4: Air Frying

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your Kmart air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

2. Arrange the Toast: Place the prawn toast pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the basket, as this will affect the cooking and crispiness of the toast.

3. Cook the Prawn Toast: Air fry the prawn toast for about 8-10 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Halfway through cooking, you may want to check and shake the basket gently to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 5: Serve Your Prawn Toast

1. Cool Slightly: Once cooked, carefully remove the prawn toast from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute on a wire rack to maintain their crispiness.

2. Serve: Serve warm with sweet chilli sauce or soy sauce for dipping. These delights are perfect as an appetiser or snack for any occasion.

Tips for Perfect Prawn Toast

• For Extra Crunch: Try using panko breadcrumbs instead of sesame seeds for an even crunchier texture.
• Seasoning Variations: Feel free to customize the flavour by adding other spices, such as chilli flakes or herbs, to the mixture.
• Batch Cooking: If you’re planning to serve a larger group, double the ingredients and cook in batches.

Conclusion

Making prawn toast in the Kmart air fryer is a simple and satisfying way to recreate a classic dish with a modern twist. Enjoy the crispy, flavourful bites without the guilt of frying in oil. Perfect for sharing or as a delicious starter, this recipe is sure to become a firm favourite. Enjoy your cooking and happy eating!
