Ingredients

  • 10 Oysters
  • 2 tbs Starch
  • 1 clove Garlic, chopped finely
  • 1/2 tbs Cooking Oil
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 tbs Sake or white wine
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 ounce Green Onion, chopped finely

Method

  • Dredge the well drained oysters in some starch and toss them very gently in a bowl till the liquid turns dark.
  • Wash out the darkened liquid with cold water until the water becomes clear.
  • Drain well.
  • Place the oysters between paper towels and dry.
  • Coat the oysters lightly with some flour (not listed in the ingredients above).
  • Heat some salad oil in a non-stick frying pan, add garlic, stir fry till they become golden over medium heat.
  • Add oysters cook until golden.
  • Turn over, add the Sake and cover.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes over low heat.
  • Add and melt the butter.
  • Add soy sauce and green onion and stir to coat the oysters with sauce.
  • Serve hot.
  • Washing oysters with starch to purify the taste is a method I learned from Chinese recipe while traditionalist Japanese chefs use graded Daikon radish juice.
  • Buttered ride recipe is available in my blog.
