Method
1
Place the ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until a smooth paste forms. Add the prawns and pulse until a coarse paste forms.
2
Combine the prawn mixture, spring onion, cornflour, soy sauce, white pepper, salt, sesame oil and egg white in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 mins or until firm.
3
Trim the ends of the French stick and cut remaining bread into 2cm-thick slices. Spoon 1 tbs prawn mixture over each slice, spreading to edges. Combine white and black sesame seeds in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 piece of bread, prawn-side down, in sesame seeds to coat evenly.
4
Pour enough vegetable oil into a medium frying pan to come 3cm up side of the pan. Heat over medium-high heat until oil reaches 180°C (when oil is ready, a cube of bread turns golden in 15 secs). Cook the bread, in batches, prawn-side down, for 5 mins or until sesame seeds are golden and prawn mixture is cooked through. Turn and cook for 1-2 mins or until golden underneath. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
5
Transfer prawn toasts to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chives. 

Serve with mayonnaise and chilli paste
