Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, oyster pancakes are a favorite dish for everyone from children to adults, and are especially great as a snack with drinks or for special holiday meals. This oyster dish is even more appealing because it can be completed simply without complex steps.
Ingredients- 300g fresh oysters
- 3 eggs
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp chopped green onion
- Pinch of salt (for egg wash seasoning)
- 0.5 Tbsp coarse salt (for cleaning oysters)
- Plenty of cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 300g of fresh oysters. Add 0.5 Tbsp of coarse salt to a bowl and gently shake the oysters to clean them. This process helps remove any unpleasant odor and thoroughly cleans the oysters. After washing, it’s crucial to drain them completely using a colander.
Step 2
Finely chop about 2 Tbsp of green onion. This not only adds flavor to the oyster pancake but also provides a pleasant texture. If you like, you can also add finely chopped red chili peppers or jalapeños for an extra kick.
Step 3
Place the drained oysters into a clean plastic bag. Add 3 Tbsp of all-purpose flour. Gently shake the bag or lightly knead the oysters to ensure they are evenly coated with a thin layer of flour. This flour coating helps the oysters become crispier as they cook.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Whisk them well. Lightly salting the egg wash will help season the oyster pancake.
Step 5
Add the 2 Tbsp of chopped green onion to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly. Ensure the green onions are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Step 6
Now, carefully dip the flour-coated oysters into the prepared egg mixture. Gently place them in the egg wash, trying not to let them clump together.
Step 7
Using chopsticks, gently separate the oysters so they don’t stick together. When the oysters are separated, they will cook more evenly and result in a more appealing presentation.
Step 8
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and generously add cooking oil. Be mindful of the oil temperature; if it’s too low, the pancake will absorb too much oil, and if it’s too high, the outside might burn before the inside is cooked.
Step 9
Once the pan is sufficiently hot, carefully pour in the oyster and egg mixture. Gently spread the oysters evenly across the bottom of the pan using a spoon or spatula. Since the egg mixture can burn quickly, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid to allow the inside to cook through until it’s moist and tender.
Step 10
When the bottom side is golden brown and cooked through, carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. After flipping, cover the pan again and continue cooking on low heat until the other side is also fully cooked. This completes your delicious pan-fried oyster pancake! For an extra special treat, serve it with a dipping sauce made of 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp vinegar, 0.5 Tbsp sugar, and 1 Tbsp water.
