INGREDIENTS
2 slice milk bread
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
Peanut butter
1 slice of butter
Maple syrup / sweetened condensed milk/honey
PROCEDURE
Prepare a pre-sliced loaf of bread that you can buy at any grocery store of your choice.
Evenly spread a generous amount of peanut butter on one side of bread, about 1.5 tbsp
Put two slices of bread together and gently press the bread to seal the sides. Remove the bread crust from the 4 sides
Make the egg batter by beating the egg with vanilla extract until well blended
Drench the bread in the egg batter until all sides are well coated
For the healthier version, pan fry the toast in a non-stick pan with 1.5 tbsp of oil until all sides are golden brown, about 1 minute per side over medium heat. Make sure you pan fry all 6 sides to get that uniform look. For the traditional version, deep fry the toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Plate the toast, place a thin slice of butter in the center of the toast and drizzle either maple syrup or condensed milk, or honey over the toast
Serve the toast with hot or cold Hong Kong-style milk tea and there you have your homemade Sai Do SI!!
Happy Snacking!
