How to make Crispy Fried Spicy Oysters

• 1

  Prepare the oysters

  After purchasing the oysters, wash them with water and then roll the oyster meat in a layer of cornstarch to remove the slime on the outside. Continue to rinse thoroughly with water.

  Next, bring a pot of boiling water to the stove and blanch the oyster meat for about 30 seconds to completely remove the slime, then remove the oysters and let them drain.

  Tip for cleaning oysters, no fishy smell:

  • If you have time, you can soak the oysters in diluted salt water with a few chili peppers; this method helps the oysters release all the mud inside.
  • After soaking the oysters, use a large brush to scrub from the hinge of the oyster shell along the curved lines to the mouth of the shell to clean it. It is best to scrub the oysters under running water. When scrubbing the oysters, the water will wash away the mud sticking to the oyster shell. You won’t need to rinse them multiple times, which is convenient and saves time.
  • For a large quantity, you can use a high-pressure hose to quickly wash off the mud sticking to the oyster shells.
  • If using pre-packaged oysters, rinse them with diluted salt water and then rinse again with water before cooking.

  Mix the batter and marinate the oysters

  Put 200g of crispy frying flour in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 3 teaspoons of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and mix the mixture well.

  Put the prepared oysters in another bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 tablespoon of chili sauce in order, then mix the mixture well so that the oysters absorb the spices.

  Coat with batter

  Place the marinated oysters into a bowl of batter, then cover the bowl with a lid and shake until the oysters are evenly coated with a layer of batter.

  Tip: Divide the oysters into 2 – 3 portions so that when shaking, the oysters are evenly coated with batter, and the dish will be crispier when fried.

  Fry crispy

  Place a pot on the stove and add 500ml of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then lower the heat and gradually add the battered oysters, frying for about 5 minutes until the outer crust turns golden brown and the oysters release a fragrant aroma, then turn off the heat and transfer the oysters to a plate.

  Garnish with some fried noodles to make the fried oysters more appealing, and it’s done.

  Tip: You can use a pan instead of a pot to fry the oysters; however, it is recommended to use a deep pan so that when frying, the oysters will be submerged in oil, ensuring they cook evenly and become crispier.
