Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 cups vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 teaspoon finely-minced ginger
1 scallion, finely minced
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing (Chinese rice wine)
1 1/2 tablespoons lard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon MSG
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 to 12 slices white bread, crusts removed (such as Wonder)
1 egg, beaten, for sealing
About 1 cup sesame seeds, for dipping
Coarse salt

Steps:

In a deep-fryer heat oil to 365 degrees. In a food processor combine next 9 ingredients; puree until a slightly chunky paste is formed. Using a rolling pin, flatten bread, one slice at a time. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of shrimp paste evenly over bread, and roll up in a tight cylinder; brush edge with a little beaten egg to seal and let dry while you make more cylinders.
When all shrimp paste is used, cut each cylinder in thirds into small logs. Dip both ends of each log into egg, then into sesame seeds. Deep-fry logs, in batches, until golden-brown, about 2 to 3 minutes, turning several times with a metal spoon. Using a slotted spoon, remove shrimp toasts and drain on paper towels; keep warm while you fry remaining batches. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve immediately.
