    This is amazing. I just had my mom's shrimp cakes last night... the seasoning was almost identical to chef john's. She used fresh water chestnuts and didn't put paprika or cayenne. Also after she manually made the shrimp paste (i.e. not via a blender) and seasoned it, she put it in the fridge UNCOVERED for an hour. I asked her why and she said that would help remove the moisture in the paste and make the shrimp cake texture much better. I wonder if this step is needed for shrimp toasts. Anyway, love mom's recipe and think this one is great also!

  • @canleovir

    I have a British cook book with a similar recipe. Only difference is after spreading the mixture on the bread, you then press the shrimp mixture sides in a plate of sesame seeds before frying. If you like sesame flavor, it's an awesome addition.

  • @canleovir
    @canleovir Před 6 lety +3

    Love shrimp toast. I was wondering where the sesame seeds were. I have a similar recipe In a British cookbook. However it calls for pressing the shrimp side of the bread in a plate of seeds for full coverage before cooking. I guess it depends on how much you like sesame seeds.

  • @dliu5132
    @dliu5132 Před 8 lety +1

    They do sell fresh water chestnuts! You can probably find them at an Asian store where we eat them by boiling it whole (they have a black skin) and then peeling them. They have a naturally sweet taste so they're great on their own!

    The first time I had shrimp toast was a NY take out Chinese place. Omg sooo good. similar to this but much more paste being thicker in the middle on the triangle. They are greasy but the're even good cold in my opinion dipped in duck sauce. lol I've made them several times and its very close. But I added a bit of corn starch to it. No water chestnuts I think they only had shrimp and green onion, ginger and garlic. And in the restaurants they left the crust on.

  • @kennethtam-chinesecookingc1201

    Interesting! In restaurants in China, we actually just smash the shrimp with the side of the knife because we don't want to break the muscle fiber. This can retain the natural springiness of the shrimp. But It's always interesting to see different preferences of food texture of different cultures. It seems Westerners enjoy smooth mousse and Easterners enjoy the chunkier texture.
