Sublime Sake-Steamed Oysters
- 1 as much (to taste) Shucked oysters (suitable for eating raw)
- 1 Grated daikon radish
- 1 Momiji oroshi (grated daikon radish with red chili pepper)
- 1 Ponzu
- 1 Green onions (finely chopped)
- 200 ml Sake
- 200 ml Water
- 2 tbsp or so Salt
- Wash the shucked oysters while gently shaking them in water (2 to 3 times).
- Put some salt water that's about as salty as sea water in a bowl, and soak the oysters in it.
- Bring an equal amount each of sake and water to a boil in a pan, to evaporate the alcohol.
- (The alcohol may flame up while it's cooking off, but the flames will disappear right away so don't panic.)
- Gently put the oysters in the sake-water liquid.
- When they have plumped up they are done!
- (You can use the cooking liquid for clear soups or chawanmushi (savory egg custard), or in oyster rice.)
- Put the grated daikon radish in a microwave-safe container and microwave for 1-2 minutes until it no longer tastes harsh.
- (It will be OK for small children this way too!)
- Serve the oysters while they're still warm topped with the grated daikon radish.
