Method

Prepare the filling

Chop the prawns in two ways. First, chop half of the prawns into small chunks. Next, finely chop and mash the remaining prawns into a paste. Set aside.
Finely dice the mushrooms and water chestnuts, and chop the coriander.
In a bowl, combine all the prawns, diced water chestnuts, mushrooms, coriander, ginger juice, rice wine, garlic powder, fish sauce, salt, pepper, brown sugar, and egg white. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Assembling

Slice off all sides of the bread and cut each slice into 4 cubes.
Scoop about 1 tbsp of the prawn paste and spread it evenly across one side of a bread piece.
Top with another piece of bread, sandwiching the prawn paste in between.

Air Fry the Mian Bao Xia 

Place the prawn sandwiches in the air fryer in a single layer.
Brush the surfaces of the bread with melted butter.
Set the air fryer to 190°C and cook for about six minutes.
Once done, flip the sandwiches over and air fry for another six minutes.

Plate and enjoy!
