Oyster omelet has its origins in Fujian and it’s a snack food that features one of Fujian’s most plentiful seafood– oysters. If you are an oyster fan like me, this is a great recipe to make. Frozen oysters can be used if fresh oysters are not available in your area.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon of cooking oil
12 oysters, shucked
1 tablespoon of potato starch
1/2 cup of cold water
leafy greens (e.g. spinach, bok choy)
1 whole scallions (finely chopped)
a pinch of salt and ground white pepper
Directions:
Combine water and potato starch in a bowl and stir. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with salt and white pepper.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add six oysters to the pan and cook until firm for about one minute.
Pour half of the potato mixture on the pan. Let it cook for a few seconds.
Pour the egg mixture on the pan.
Add scallions and leafy greens. Let it cook for about one minute and flip over the entire omelet. Cook on the opposite side for another minute. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
