Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Blanching oysters in soju-infused boiling water for 10 seconds before frying locks in moisture, preventing water leakage during frying and effectively reducing fishy flavor.
  • Using a food-safe plastic bag to coat oysters ensures no mess on your hands and results in an even, thin batter that enhances texture and crispness.
  • Oysters become tough if overcooked, so it’s best to fry them quickly over low heat until the egg coating turns golden without prolonged exposure.

Recommended for

  • Those sensitive to the fishy aroma of oyster dishes and hesitant to try them.
  • People who struggle with batter becoming soggy or peeling off when frying.
  • Those seeking a premium appetizer that preserves the natural fragrance and soft texture of the ingredients.
