Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh oysters (shucked)
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the shucked oysters by gently rinsing them in cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Slice the green onions into thin rounds, separating the white and green parts.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 4

In a wok or large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Step 5

Add the finely chopped garlic and the white parts of the green onions to the pan. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 6

Increase the heat to high and add the oysters to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they start to plump and release some of their juices.

Step 7

Add the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and ground black pepper to the pan, stirring to coat the oysters evenly.

Step 8

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the oysters.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and toss in the green parts of the green onions for a fresh burst of color and flavor.

Step 10

Transfer the stir-fried oysters to a serving dish and serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
