Instructions
Preparation
Prepare and measure all ingredients accurately ahead of time.
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients needed for the batter. Set aside.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl, and set it aside.
Frying
Drain the excess water from the oyster using a paper towel.
Over medium fire, in a non-stick pan, add the vegetable oil. Give the batter a stir.
Using a ladle, pour the batter in two portions and spread it around the pan.
Fry until the edges become a bit crispy and the center is still soft. You may break the batter into several chunks or leave it as one whole batter.
Pour half of the beaten egg into the batter, then flip it over and fry the other half.
Add some oil and pour another half of the egg and fry again until it sets.
Flip it over and place it at the side of the pan.
Put some oil on the pan for the oyster.
Fill the ladle with the batter, add 6 to 8 pieces of the oyster into the ladle, and pour it into the pan.
Stir fry the oyster for 30 seconds and mix it with the batter and the egg you set aside. Make sure not to overcook the oyster to avoid having a gummy texture.
