Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh oysters (shucked)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Clean the shucked oysters by gently rinsing them in cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a wok or large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Add the finely chopped garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
Increase the heat to high and add the oysters to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they start to plump and release some of their juices.
Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper to the pan, stirring to coat the oysters evenly.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the oysters.
Turn off the heat and toss in the green parts of the green onions for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
Transfer the stir-fried oysters to a serving dish and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
