  • For best results, use fresh prawns for this recipe.
  • Lee Kum Kee brand garlic chilli sauce is recommended for this recipe, however you can substitute with your preferred brand.

  • Substitute shrimp for salmon: Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which can help to reduce inflammation and improve heart health. This substitution will add a boost of healthy fats to the recipe.
  • Substitute whole wheat bread for spelt bread: Spelt is an ancient grain that is higher in fiber and protein than wheat bread. This substitution will add more nutrition and a nutty flavor to the recipe.

Vegetarian Version Replace the prawns with 200 grams of diced firm tofu. Omit the bacon and increase the garlic chilli sauce to 2 teaspoons.



Coconut Rice: This fragrant and flavorful side dish is a perfect accompaniment to the Sesame Prawn Toasts, as it helps to balance out the spiciness of the dish. The sweetness of the coconut complements the savory flavors of the prawns and bacon.


Ginger-Garlic Green Beans: This dish is a great way to add a flavorful and crunchy side to the meal. The ginger and garlic add a nice kick to the green beans, while the crunchy texture helps to contrast the softness of the coconut rice. The combination of flavors is sure to be a hit with your guests!
