Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh oysters thoroughly under cold water and drain well. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 6 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Crack the eggs into another bowl and beat them lightly. Add soy sauce, fish sauce, and white pepper, whisking until combined.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.

Step 7

Allow the slurry to cook until it turns translucent and slightly crispy, about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the beaten eggs over the cornstarch layer, ensuring even coverage.

Step 9

Sprinkle the drained oysters evenly over the egg mixture, followed by the sliced green onions.

Step 10

Carefully flip one side of the omelette over the other side to form a semi-circle, using a spatula.

Step 11

Continue cooking until the eggs are fully set and the oysters are just cooked through, about 2 minutes more.

Gently slide the omelette onto a serving plate.

Step 13

Drizzle the chili sauce over the omelette before serving.
