Chop the shrimp, water chestnuts, and cilantro very fine. Grind the pork
fat and add to the shrimp mixture. Stir the egg whites one at a time into
the mixture. Add the cornstarch and stir with a wooden spoon for several
minutes until very thick. Season with salt and white pepper. Remove the
crusts from the bread. Cut each slice in half. Spread the bread halves with
the shrimp mixture and sprinkle the surface with sesame seeds. Deep-fry in
hot cooking oil until golden. Drain on paper towels, arrange on a platter,
and serve while hot. Cilantro is sometimes found under the names Chinese
parsley or fresh coriander.
