Golden Fried Oysters Food

FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Combine all batter ingredients in a bowl and reserve.
• Heat wok over high heat for 1 minute. Pour in peanut oil, heat to 375°F. Dip each oyster into the batter until well coated. When a wisp of white smoke appears, lower oysters into oil. Deep-fry 5 at a time until light brown, about 3 minutes. Remove oysters, place in strainer, drain over a bowl.
• Deep-fry last batch to a golden brown, about 4 minutes. Place cooked oysters back in oil for 2 minutes more so they become golden brown. During frying, always control heat. You may need to lower if oysters brown too much, or raise if they cook too slowly.

GOLDEN OYSTER STEW

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat; add onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until tender.
• Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
• Gradually stir in 2 cups milk; cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until mixture is thickened and bubbly.
• Reduce heat to low, and stir in cheese and next 5 ingredients.
• Cook, stirring often, 3 minutes or until cheese melts and mixture is hot.
• Add oysters and oyster liquor, and simmer 3 minutes or just until edges of oysters begin to curl.
• Serve with crackers, if desired.
• *Note:
• To make ahead, prepare the stew through adding and melting cheese. Freeze the mixture in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Proceed with recipe as directed.
• **Choosing the Best: Fresh shucked oysters are found in the seafood department of supermarkets or at seafood markets. We don't recommend substituting canned oysters in this recipe. Fresh oysters come in 12-oz. containers and range in size from standards (the smallest) to counts (the largest). Standards and selects are the most economical and are the best choices for oyster stew.

GOLDEN FRIED OYSTERS

Steps:

• Combine flour, cornmeal, chili powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat oil in cast iron skillet until it reaches 350º or flour bubbles immediately upon being sprinkled in it.
• Dredge oysters in flour mixture, shake off excess flour and fry in oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels.

FRIED OYSTERS WITH TARTAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the oysters: Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each oyster in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg, then coat evenly in the panko.
• Set breaded oysters on a baking cooling rack, leaving a little room between the oysters so they can dry and set. Refrigerate until ready to fry and serve.
• Make the sauce: Finely mince garlic with a pinch of salt until sticky and pasty. Mince shallots, cornichons and capers as finely as possible. Add all to a small bowl. Stir in mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, caper brine and cornichon vinegar, and stir well. Add chopped parsley, stir well and season to taste with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Fry the oysters: Melt enough shortening in a deep medium skillet (we love cast iron) over medium for 1 1/2 inches of liquified fat once hot. Increase heat to medium-high. It's ready to fry in when a few crumbs of panko or the tip of a wooden chopstick sizzles actively in the fat.
• Add the oysters cold from the refrigerator, working in batches of 6 to 8 or as you have room. Fry, making sure to turn them to get both sides, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, depending on size. Remove with a slotted spoon or spider, and let rest on a clean rack while you fry the rest. Season each batch with a little salt while still piping hot, as soon as you pull them from the fat. Serve with tartar sauce.

• Add the oysters to the egg bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, sugar, pepper, salt, and flour.
• Lift each oyster out of the egg mixture and allow the excess moisture to drip off before rolling them in the cornmeal mixture to evenly coat. Repeat the process with all oysters.
• Pour about 3 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy, deep saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring it to a temperature of 370 F.
• Carefully add the oysters to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Fry each batch of 6 to 8 oysters for about 2 to 4 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

• If using, add the green onion to the sauce and stir it into the mixture, or reserve the onion to garnish the finished oysters. Stir to blend thoroughly.
• Serve the sauce alongside the fried oysters and enjoy.

DEEP-FRIED OYSTERS 酥炸生蠔

Steps:

• Make batter by combining 150 g cake flour, 50 g corn starch, ½ tsp baking powder, ⅛ tsp ground black pepper, ⅛ tsp white pepper powder, 1 tsp salt and ¼ tsp turmeric powder. Turmeric is optional, but it gives a really nice golden colour to the oysters
• Add icy cold water a little at a time and gently mix together using a slow motion so that the glutens don't form bonds. Mix until the batter is smooth and thick but not doughy. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 30 minutes Depending on the flour, the amount of water may vary. So add a bit at a time until it is thick but runny enough to be poured. I added 275 ml of icy cold water to mine
• Rinse oysters with water. Place oysters in a bowl, add 2 tbsp corn starch, mix gently and let it sit for 5 minutes
• Rinse each oyster gently and try to remove any impurities with your fingers.
• Use a spoon to gently scratch off black rims on the oyster
• Put into colander to dry
• After the batter has chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes, add 1 ½ tbsp of oil into the batter and mix gently until well mixed
• Dry the oysters with paper towels
• Heat 1 L of oil in a wok, pot or deep fryer until the oil is approx. 160˚C or 325˚F (if using wooden chopsticks to test oil, it's when little bubbles form around the chopstick)
• Coat each oyster with a light coat of corn starch so that the batter will better adhere to the oyster
• Dip the oyster into the batter, completely covering it and then place it into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pot as the batter may stick to each other Oysters should be at room temperature when ready to fry
• Fry each oyster for approx. 3 minutes until the batter turns a light golden colour
• Remove the oysters from the oil and place on cooling rack Oysters are not ready to eat, they need to be fried one more time
• Increase the heat and heat the oil to 200˚C or 400˚F. Put the oysters back into the oil and fry for approx. 1 minute until they become golden in colour
