practice

1. When buying fresh oysters at the market, you can ask the market staff to help you pry open the shells, or you can buy them and do it yourself at home. The processing method is: carefully clean the oyster shells with a brush, flatten the edges of the oyster shells with a hammer or a strong hard object, and then pry the oyster shells open with a flat screwdriver. After opening the shells of fresh oysters, sprinkle some lemon juice on them and they are delicious, but they must be very fresh.

2. Peel the oyster meat out of the shell, put it in a bowl, add a little white wine, salt and pepper, and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

3. Peel the garlic and chop it into minced garlic. Add the right amount of oil (the same amount as the garlic) into the wok and fry the minced garlic over low heat until it is fragrant and slightly golden. Note that you must use low heat and keep stirring with a spatula to prevent the minced garlic from sticking to the wok. Rinse the minced garlic with clean water before frying to remove the mucus on the surface of the minced garlic and prevent it from sticking to the wok, but the flavor of the garlic will also be lost.

4. Drain the fried garlic and oil, let it cool, and then add salt and chicken essence according to your taste. It can be slightly saltier than usual.

5. Put the marinated oyster meat into the cleaned oyster shells and spread the prepared minced garlic on top of the oyster meat.

6. Put the oysters in the lower layer of the oven and bake them for about 20 minutes on the lower fire until the oyster meat shrinks slightly. Finally, bake them for 1-2 minutes on the upper and lower fire until the minced garlic is colored. If your oven does not have upper and lower fire, you can cover the oysters with a piece of tin foil to prevent them from burning.

Hygiene

Oysters are usually grilled over charcoal at a temperature of over 100 degrees Celsius, which will kill most of the bacteria. However, if the oysters are not cleaned or the grilling temperature is not high enough, you will have diarrhea if you eat them! Therefore, it is best to eat in a regular restaurant. First, the chefs are good and pay attention to hygiene, so there will generally be no problems; second, the quality of the oysters is also guaranteed. For safety reasons, it is best to ask for some mustard when eating grilled oysters, because mustard has the effect of sterilization and disinfection.

To enjoy the original flavor, you can use the ice method. Pick out the oysters and place them on ice. When the ice is completely frozen, eat them directly. In this way, the oysters not only retain their original flavor, but also their original sweetness will be stimulated and stay in the throat for a long time. If you are still worried about the fishy smell, you can add a little lemon juice and ketchup, so that you can still feel its original sweet taste. If the taste is stronger, you can also add a little red vinegar and chili water. Oysters added with chili water have an unexpectedly good taste.
