In China, prawn toast is a popular dish that is often served as an appetizer or a snack. It is made by coating slices of toast with a mixture of ground prawns, eggs, and seasonings, then frying them until crispy.
Prawn toast is believed to have originated in the city of Guangzhou (formerly Canton) in southern China. It is thought to have been first created during the Tang dynasty (618-907), when Guangzhou was a major trading port.
Prawn toast became popular in Britain during the Victorian era, when many Chinese immigrants came to work in the country's restaurants. Today, it is a common dish served in Chinese restaurants around the world.
