When we lived in London for many years, prawn toast was the one appetizer we used to order every single time we ordered a Chinese takeaway. It was only much later on I realized that it is relatively easy to make. Although fried in oil it is light and airy and is absolutely delicious. There is a fair chance after having this appetizer you may not want to move on to the main course! @sarchakra
