How to prepare Stir-fried Oysters with Scallions

• 1

  Prepare the oysters

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

  Next, bring a pot of boiling water to the stove, blanch the oyster meat for about 30 seconds to completely remove the sliminess, then take the oyster meat out and let it drain.

  Tips for cleaning oysters, to avoid 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 for thorough cleaning. It is best to scrub the oysters under a strong running water. While scrubbing, the water will wash away the mud stuck on the oyster shell. You won’t need to rinse many times, which is convenient and saves time.
  • For large quantities, you can use a high-pressure spray nozzle to quickly wash away the mud stuck on the oyster shells.
  • If using pre-packaged oysters, wash them with diluted salt water and then rinse with fresh water before cooking.
