Plump oysters steamed with kelp and cheongju, served with a garlic ponzu dipping sauce — a clean, elegant drinking snack.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If oysters are steamed too long they shrink and become tough, so turn off the heat within 4 minutes while they are still springy.
  • Steaming on a bed of kelp prevents the oysters from touching the pot directly and infuses them with deep umami fragrance.
  • Don't discard the oyster broth left in the pot — use it as a base for porridge, soup, or somyeon broth for a wonderful result.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to fully experience the springy texture and pure umami of seasonal oysters.
  • Those looking for a quick, foolproof drinking snack that takes around 10 minutes.
  • Those who enjoy a tangy, pungent ponzu-style sauce.
