Calories: 66.62kcal
- 150 g firm tofu
- 2 spring onions thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon root ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 sheet nori cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 6 slices white bread
- 50 g white sesame seeds
- 6 tablespoon vegetable oil for shallow frying
Add the tofu, spring onions, root ginger, garlic, soy sauce, nori and sesame oil into a food processor.
Pulse until you have a thick paste.
Take each piece of bread and top with the paste, spreading it into an even layer over the whole slice.
Cut each slice into 4 triangles.
Lay the sesame seeds onto a plate and one by one, press the paste side of each triangle into the sesame seeds. Press down firmly enough that the sesame seeds stick to all of the paste.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan.
Carefully lay your first piece of sesame toast in the pan, sesame seed side down into the oil.
Fry for a couple of minutes until crisp, then carefully flip the bread side for a further few minutes until crisp.
Repeat until all of the pieces are cooked.
Kitchen roll can be used to soak up any of the excess oil.
Serve while hot.
