Instructions

  • Prepare a bowl of water to clean the oysters. Allow them to sit in 1 teaspoon salt and ½ tablespoon cornstarch for around 10 minutes.
  • Rinse them twice with clean water. Be careful while rising, as you may cause them to break apart.
  • After that, use paper towels to drain them well.

  • Use cornstarch to pat these oysters. Meanwhile, pour oil into a wok and heat it over medium heat.
  • Fry all the oysters until they turn gold on the two sides. Transfer them to a plate.
  • Add oil to a wok and heat it over moderately high heat. Next, add ginger slices. Remember to stir them well until they are fragrant.
  • After that, add cut green onions to the wok. Keep stirring for about one minute.
  • You can add minced garlic and the sliced celery stalks; it's optional. Stir-fry well for around one minute.
  • Add sliced long green chili peppers if you want something a bit spicy.
  • Add cooking wine to your dish. Keep cooking for another minute.
  • Transfer pan-fried oysters to the wok. Toss and stir with the sauce.
  • To make the sauce slightly thickened, cook for another minute. Transfer the dish to the serving plates. Enjoy your dish!
