ingredients
- 16 Maine Oysters, shucked and rinsed
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons shao hsing wine, or mirin or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 ounce fresh ginger, sliced into matchsticks, about 3 tablespoons
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil, or canola oil
Method
Step 1
Lay Maine Oysters on a bamboo steamer or flat heatproof plate or bowl.
Step 2
Bring a large wok of water to a boil. About 1/4 of the wok should be filled up with water—as long as the water does not touch the plate, bowl or bamboo steamer the oysters are being steamed in. For a wok substitute, you can use a regular rounded braiser pan or Dutch/French oven that has a cover. Ensure the plate or bowl with the oysters can fit inside the pan in order to steam it.
Step 3
Place bamboo steamer inside the wok. If you are using a plate or bowl instead of a bamboo steamer, I suggest having a heat-proof stainless steel rack stand submerged in the water and then place the bowl/plate of oysters on top.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix soy sauce, shao hsing wine, sugar and 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
Step 5
Pour approximately half of the soy sauce mixture onto the oysters without overfilling. Top each oyster with half of the spring onion and ginger.
Step 6
Cover the wok with a lid and steam for 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Place oysters on a serving plate. Place remaining soy sauce mixture, scallion or ginger on top of the oysters.
Step 8
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, pour oil over each oyster. Serve immediately.
