Fried Oysters image

Jah Sang Ho - Oysters are one of those three fruits of the sea permissible to Buddhists and were therefore insisted upon for New Year lunch by my grandmother. Cooking them with a batter is traditional. Their name, ho see, sounds like the Chinese words for good business.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Batter
1 1/2 cups bleached all-purpose, high-gluten flour
10 ounces cold water
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons peanut oil
5 cups peanut oil
20 medium-size fresh oysters, opened, removed from shells, patted dry, dusted with flour

Steps:

  • Combine all batter ingredients in a bowl and reserve.
  • Heat wok over high heat for 1 minute. Pour in peanut oil, heat to 375°F. Dip each oyster into the batter until well coated. When a wisp of white smoke appears, lower oysters into oil. Deep-fry 5 at a time until light brown, about 3 minutes. Remove oysters, place in strainer, drain over a bowl.
  • Deep-fry last batch to a golden brown, about 4 minutes. Place cooked oysters back in oil for 2 minutes more so they become golden brown. During frying, always control heat. You may need to lower if oysters brown too much, or raise if they cook too slowly.

I'm allergic to oysters, but my husband loved them! He said they were the best fried oysters he's ever had.

These fried oysters were a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

The oysters were a bit too salty for my taste, but overall they were still good.

These fried oysters were an absolute delight! The oysters were perfectly cooked, with a crispy outer coating and a tender, juicy interior. The dipping sauce was also delicious, with a perfect balance of tanginess and sweetness.
