Kim Dae-seok's Oyster and Bean Sprout Rice

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Always use salted water instead of plain water when cleaning oysters to prevent damage and preserve their natural umami flavor.
• Pre-boiling the firm radish with kelp for 4 minutes prevents the bean sprouts and oysters from becoming overcooked and tough.
• The accumulated liquid from oysters and radish after steaming can make the rice sticky if mixed directly—always pour it off before mixing with the sauce for a smoother, richer texture.
• The reserved oyster broth is deeply flavorful and refreshing—don’t discard it; use it as a base for soups or stews.
