Ingredients

  • 500 g fresh oysters without shells
  • 1 cup chinese leek chopped, or normal leek
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon rice wine
  • 1 chilli sliced
  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped

Instructions

  • Cooking ginger and leek: Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.Add ginger and the white part of the Chinese leek, cooking until fragrant.
  • Soy Sauce Infusion: Pour in soy sauce, heating it through.Gently stir in oysters and rice wine, cooking for 3-5 minutes.
  • Spice it Up: Add chili slices and the green part of the Chinese leek, cooking until they are done.

Notes

  • The key to this recipe lies in the freshness of the oysters. Ensure that all the oysters are fresh, as the presence of even one or two spoilt ones can compromise the entire dish.
  • Chinese baby leeks can be challenging to find in my area, and if you’re facing the same issue, regular leeks make a suitable substitute.
  • The doneness of the oysters varies depending on your preferences. Whether you enjoy them semi-raw or fully cooked, feel free to adjust the cooking time to suit your liking.
