Menbosha (Korean Shrimp Toast)

Cut the bread crusts. Then, slice each bread into four small squares.

Peel and devein the shrimps, remove the tails, and mince them until it becomes a smooth paste.If you like a bit of a bite to the prawns, only mince until they form small chunks.

In a bowl, add the shrimp paste, salt, pepper, cornstarch, chicken stock, egg white, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Brush some olive oil onto the bread.

Spoon the menbosha paste and place them in between the sliced bread on a baking tray.

Bake them in an oven at 200°C for 10 minutes or until golden brown. If using an air-fryer, air fry the menbosha pieces at 180°C (355°F) for 10 minutes, and then at 200°C (400°F) for another 3 minutes. Then, serve with your preferred menbosha sauce.
