  Ingredients:

1 tablespoon Chinese dried prawns
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves and stems
2 cloves garlic
125g cooked peeled prawns
500g lean minced pork
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 egg
6 large slices day-old white bread
vegetable oil for deep frying.

   
  Making:
     
  1. Finely chop the dried prawns, coriander and garlic in a food processor. Add fresh prawns and pork and grind to a paste-like consistency.

  5. Remove on a wire or perforated strainer and drain on absorbent paper.
  6. Arrange on shredded lettuce with a small bowl of sweet and sour in centre. Serve hot.
   
  HINT: If preferred, cut bread in halves and make 18 large prawn toasts.
