1. Ingredients

  • 10 oz (300g) oysters meat.
  • 2 slices ginger, 1 scallion, 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry).
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp white pepper.
  • 1 large egg (beaten).
  • Vegetable oil for deep frying.

2. Instructions

* Step 1: Prep & Blanch 

Clean oysters in cold water and drain.

* Step 2: Coating

In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Dip each oyster into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the flour mixture. Press gently so the flour sticks.

Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).

Fry oysters in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove and drain on a wire rack or paper towels.

3. Serving Suggestion
