Main Ingredients- 100g Fresh Oysters

- 1 Egg

- 2 Tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the Oysters: Place the oysters in a bowl with 1 tsp of salt and gently mix with your hands. Rinse carefully under running water. Drain in a sieve and rinse about four more times until clean. This process removes any shell fragments or impurities. During rinsing, carefully remove any small shell pieces attached to the oyster meat.
Step 2
2. Drain Excess Water: After washing, thoroughly drain the oysters using a sieve. It’s crucial to remove excess water, as it can prevent the coating from adhering properly.
Step 3
3. Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the frying mix and curry powder, mixing well. Curry powder helps to eliminate any fishy odor from the oysters and adds a subtle flavor. Using tongs can make this process easier.
Step 4
4. Coat the Oysters: Evenly coat the prepared oysters with the frying mix. Dip the coated oysters into the beaten egg, then let excess egg drip off by lightly pressing the edge of the bowl against the side. This prevents the egg wash from being too thick. Afterward, generously coat the oysters with breadcrumbs. Double-coating with breadcrumbs will result in an even crispier texture.
Step 5
5. Air Fryer Cooking (First Round): Arrange the breaded oysters in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Cook at 170°C (340°F) for 7 minutes.
Step 6
6. Air Fryer Cooking (Second Round): After 7 minutes, flip the oysters over and cook for an additional 5 minutes at 170°C (340°F). This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Step 7
7. Serve: Your golden-brown fried oysters are ready! Serve them warm with sweet chili sauce for dipping. They offer a delightful contrast of a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior.
