Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 stalk Green onion, finely sliced
- 1 piece Red chili, finely sliced (optional)
- 1 cup Crushed ice
Instructions
Start by scrubbing the oyster shells under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Carefully shuck the oysters, being sure to keep as much of the oyster liquor inside the shell as possible. Set the oysters aside on a plate filled with crushed ice to keep them cold while you prepare the sauce.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fresh orange juice, fresh lemon juice, honey, and grated ginger. Whisk together until the honey is fully dissolved and the sauce is well-mixed.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding a touch more honey or lemon juice, if needed.
Finely slice the green onion and red chili (if using) and set them aside for garnish.
Arrange the shucked oysters on a serving platter filled with crushed ice to keep them chilled.
Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the sweet citrus soy sauce over each oyster, allowing the flavors to lightly coat the oyster meat.
Sprinkle the sliced green onion and red chili over the oysters as a garnish for a pop of color and added flavor.
Serve immediately with additional sauce on the side, if desired. Enjoy your Oysters with Sweet Citrus Soy Sauce!
