Taiwanese Oyster Omelet
Ô-á-chian
A beloved Taiwanese street food, this savory omelet features fresh oysters, a chewy batter made from sweet potato starch, and often includes leafy greens. It's typically pan-fried until crispy on the edges and tender in the center, then drizzled with a sweet and savory sauce.
🧂 Składniki
- 6-8 small Oysters(raw, shucked, and drained. If large, chop into bite-sized pieces.)
- 1/2 cup Sweet potato starch
- 1 cup Water(cold)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Green leafy vegetable(e.g., Taiwanese A-choy, baby spinach, or chrysanthemum leaves, chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil(for frying)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon White pepper
👨🍳 Instrukcje

In a bowl, whisk together the sweet potato starch and cold water until smooth. Stir in the salt and white pepper. Add the shucked oysters to the batter and mix gently.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pour in half of the oyster and batter mixture. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.

Add half of the chopped greens on top of the batter. Crack one egg over the greens and quickly scramble it to cover the surface.

Once the egg is mostly set, carefully flip the entire omelet using two spatulas. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the omelet is cooked through.
