Oyster pot


This is a classic. I dry the oysters and then dusted them with corn starch and quick fried them to make a light crust. Quite a lot of ginger and scallions (obviously I didn't use enough) is added to a hot clay pot with a little oil. The oysters are then added, then rose liquor, then a little sauce made of soy sauce, sugar and sesame oil. Put the lid on for a couple of minutes and it is done.

i don't know if yr oyster is a frozen one. But, if yes, it is better to put the oyster in hot water first before cooking in order to get rid of the stain smell.
And is it better to use flour to clean and marinate before cooking?

I would never use frozen oysters. And yes, I parboiled them quickly so they would hold their shape. Fresh oyster doesn't have any bad smell. If there is any bad smell on any oyster, throw it away immediately.

For good clean oysters, there is not need to clean with flour, just rinse well to get ride of all the sand and shell.
