Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 stalk Green onion (thinly sliced)

Instructions
Clean the oysters thoroughly under cold running water using a brush to remove any dirt or debris from the shells. Carefully shuck the oysters, keeping the liquor (the liquid in the shell) intact. Place the oysters on a bed of crushed ice to keep them cold while preparing the dressing.
In a small bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Whisk together until the ingredients are fully emulsified and the dressing is smooth.
Drizzle a small amount of the sesame dressing onto each oyster, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.
Garnish the oysters with a light sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and a few slices of green onion for extra flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately on the crushed ice bed to maintain freshness and enjoy this delicious appetizer!
