Oyster with Taosi Sauce

A friend made a similar dish using clams and Ritchie liked it so much that he made his own version. The star in his take? Oysters, a known aphrodisiac.

Serves 2 to 3  Prep Time 15 minutes  Cooking Time 5 minutes

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 tablespoon chopped green onion
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1/2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons taosi
1/2 kilo raw oysters
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
chopped green onion for garnish

1  Heat vegetable oil in a wok or pan, over high heat. Add green onion, ginger, garlic, and taosi, then stir-fry for about 10 seconds. Add the oysters, then the soy sauce. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.

2  Mix cornstarch and water until there are no lumps. Add it to the pan then stir-fry.

3  Serve oysters over steamed lettuce leaves or simply transfer everything to a serving plate then garnish with spring onions.
