Air-fryer sesame prawn toast recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
We've taken the classic Chinese side, sesame prawn toast and added a crunchy, spicy cucumber salad on the side to make it a meal in its own right. Use your air-fryer for speed and extra crunch, but if you don't own one, you can still enjoy this recipe toasting the bread and grilling the topping – see tip, below.

Method
- Toast the peanuts in a frying pan over a medium-high heat for 3-4 mins until golden brown, then transfer to a plate to cool.
- Preheat the air-fryer to 200°C. Drain any excess moisture from the prawns and put in a food processor with 6 spring onions, the ginger, garlic, egg whites, cornflour and 1½ tbsp soy sauce; pulse a few times. There should still be some texture but it needs to be spreadable.
- Spread the prawn mixture over the bread slices and sprinkle over the sesame seeds, lightly pressing them in to stick. Halve each slice diagonally with a serrated knife to make 12 triangles, then arrange on air-fryer baking trays and air-fry (in batches if needed) for 10-12 mins until golden brown and the prawn mixture is cooked through
- Meanwhile, put the cucumber in a bowl with the mint and remaining spring onions. Roughly chop the toasted peanuts and add to the bowl. Mix the lime juice, 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce, sesame oil and remaining soy sauce together in a jug, then pour over the cucumber mix and toss to coat. Serve alongside the prawn toasts with extra sweet chilli sauce for dipping.
- Tip: No air-fryer? Use the grill – preheat to high, then lightly toast the bread until crispy but not coloured. Top with the prawn mix and sesame seeds, arrange on a baking sheet and grill for 4-6 mins until cooked.
