INSTRUCTIONS

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.  Assembly: =========  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 350 F 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.  ** This
plum sauce can be made from pureed soft plums simmered with  sugar,
rice vinegar and plum wine to taste.  Source: Great Chefs of San
