A complete guide to steamed oysters with garlic. How to make them delicious?

Oysters are called "milk of the ocean" and are a sacred product of the sea. They can be eaten raw or cooked. The most common way to eat them is with garlic sauce. How can you make garlic sauce oysters at home to be as delicious as those in restaurants?

How to Cook Oysters with Garlic Sauce

Ingredients: 6 oysters, minced garlic, shredded ginger, oil, rice wine, sugar and salt in appropriate amounts.

practice:

1. When you buy fresh oysters, choose those that are tightly closed (even though they are hard to pry open, but you need to pick the freshest ones) and those that are plump on one side, which means they are fresh and big!

2. Prying the shell off requires skill, and you can use all kinds of tools, such as a kitchen knife, a flat knife, a pocket knife... but you must be careful not to cut your hands. When opening it, the flat side should face up. After making a small opening, reach in with a small thin blade and cut off the place where the column is connected. The flat half can be lifted off, and then use a small thin blade to cut off the other side of the column, and the whole thing can be taken out.

3. Use a fine-bristled brush (old toothbrush) to brush it clean, gently, without leaving any black edges~ (compare before and after washing).

4. Wash, filter and place in a bowl.

5. Add rice wine, sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, etc., according to personal taste preference, mix well with your hands (or chopsticks), and marinate for a while.

6. During the marinating period, you can brush the shell. I guess you don’t brush the outside. The difference before and after brushing is still very big!

7. Arrange the shells on the plate. If your plate is not big enough, you can put fewer shells. You can put 2 shells in one shell. After all, you are eating at home, so you don’t have to be picky.

8. It is almost done marinating now. Put it in the shell and top it with some shredded ginger. The extra marinating wine is basically useless. If you want to stir-fry other dishes, you can add it, but it is not recommended to pour it in together.

9. Put it into the steamer, steam it on low heat for 10-15 minutes when the water boils, and simmer it for a few more minutes when the heat is turned off.

10. While steaming, chop the garlic into different sizes according to your preference.

11. Put more oil in the pot (this picture shows the first operation, so there is not enough oil), stir-fry, add soy sauce, salt, sugar, etc. according to personal taste.

12. Open the pot and pour the garlic and oil on it~~ (imagine there should be a sizzling sound...).
