Ingredients

12 slices bread, french baguette
1/4 pound shrimp
1/4 pound crab meat
1 tablespoon ginger minced
1 tablespoon scallions, spring or green onions minced
1 tablespoon lard minced
2 teaspoons wine
2 teaspoons sherry
2 teaspoons water
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 cup water chestnuts

Directions

Leave the baguette slices out on a rack overnight to dry, or place them in a low oven for about 10 minutes per side until dry ot the touch.

Mince the shrimp and crabmeat to a paste, then combine the paste minced ginger, minced scallion, lard, salt, rice wine, water, cornstarch, and waterchestnuts stirring well in one direction to blend.

Fold in the beaten egg white.

Using a broad-bladed sandwich spreader, mound the shrimp on the bread slice to a thickness of a scant 3/4 inch, tapering the mound where it meets the edge of the brad to form a smooth dome.

Sprinkle some sesame seeds and ham bits thinly on top, then press on a single coriander leaf.

Deep-fry, topping side down, in oil until the topping is golden, about 4 minutes.

Using long cooking chopsticks or tongs, turn the toasts to brown the underside of the baguette.

Remove promptly to paper towels to drain.

Serve with warm or cooled plum sauce.
