Cooking tips 💡

• Always dissolve sea salt completely before washing oysters—failure to do so may damage the oysters and cause loss of flavorful components.
• Sesame oil has a low smoke point, so avoid high heat when sautéing oysters to prevent burning.
• Do not cook oysters with rice from the beginning—they shrink and become tough. Sauté them briefly first, then add at the end during steaming.
• Adding a small amount of fresh water to the seasoning sauce prevents it from being too salty or stiff, allowing it to blend smoothly with the rice.
