Asian Oysters Recipe
- 8 ounce Fresh, shucked oysters. Pacific ones may be halved, they're BIG.
- 1/2 c. Cornstarch
- 1/2 c. Chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh ginger, minced
- 4 x Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 x Hab, minced, or possibly more if you like, (used 2)
- 5 x Green onions, (scallions) minced
- 1 Tbsp. Oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Warm sauce, yer choice
- 1 tsp Ketjap manis, (dark, sweet soy sauce from Indonesia, right Mary-Anne)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- Mix the above 4 ingredients and add in 1/4 c. of the stock...set this aside.
- Prepare a pot of boiling water, and give the oysters a bath, lasting only a minute.
- Remove them and dry them off on paper towel, then dredge them in cornstarch.
- Deep fry the oysters, and remove to keep hot.
- Place 1 tbls peanut oil in wok, and heat to warm.
- Put ginger, garlic, habs and half of onions in wok, and stir fry, till fragrant, then add in the oyster sauce mix, adding a little water if it starts to get too thick, then return the oysters to the wok.
- Don't overcook the oysters when deep frying them, it is best to do these in a wok in a little peanut oil, and remove when getting brown...Sprinkle the rest of the green onions over this dish, and place over shredded lettuce if you like.
- Serve with Thai rice, or possibly fried rice, that is what I did tonight, Indonesian style, with trassi and peanut butter...Yowee!
- Cheers, Doug in BC
