Ingredients

• Prawns, peeled and deveined - 150 grams
• White bread - 4 slices

• Green onion, finely chopped - 2 tablespoons

2. Spread the prawn mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread.
3. In a shallow dish, place the cornstarch. Dip the prawn-covered side of each slice of bread into the cornstarch to coat lightly.
