Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching oysters in boiling water before frying removes any fishy odor and prevents oil splatter during frying.
  • Simmering the roasted eggplant in the sauce over low heat allows its natural nutty sweetness to fully infuse into the sauce.
  • Using equal parts tempura flour and two types of starch in the batter enhances the texture—crispier on the outside and chewier inside.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a distinctive and upscale twist on the usual plain oyster fritter.
  • Ideal for entertaining guests or as a sophisticated Chinese-style appetizer with rich umami flavor.
