Homemade Oyster Omelet (Ingredients)

【Ingredients】 (Serves approx. 2-3) Fresh oysters 250g Eggs 3 Sweet potato starch 80g Water 180ml Minced garlic 3 cloves Scallions 2 stalks (chopped) Cilantro to taste (optional) Cooking oil as needed 【Seasoning】 Soy sauce 1 tsp Fish sauce 1 tsp White pepper 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp 【Homemade Dipping Sauce】 Chili sauce 2 tbsp Ketchup 1 tbsp Minced garlic 1 tsp Sugar 1/2 tsp Lime juice 1 tsp (optional) 【Instructions】 Gently wash the fresh oysters with a little salt, rinse with clean water, and drain. Set aside. Oysters can easily hide fine sand, so wash them gently to avoid breaking the oyster meat. Mix sweet potato starch and water until smooth, forming a batter with no lumps. Let the batter rest for a few minutes before using. The starch will absorb water, resulting in a more even texture when fried. Beat the eggs and mix in the chopped scallions, white pepper, soy sauce, and fish sauce. Heat a non-stick pan with a bit more oil than usual over medium-low heat. Pour in the batter and cook until the bottom starts to set and the edges become slightly crispy. Evenly pour the beaten egg mixture over the batter, letting it set slowly. Then, place the oysters evenly on top and gently press them into the egg layer. Continue to cook for about 2 minutes, then carefully flip the omelet. Be gentle to avoid breaking the starchy base. Fry until both sides are golden brown, with crispy edges and a tender center. Remove from the pan. Sprinkle with chopped scallions and cilantro, and serve with the prepared sweet and spicy sauce.
