Oysters with Asian Dressing

Add something special to a classic oyster with this simple Asian dressing.

INGREDIENTS:

½ tablespoon mirin

½ tablespoon rice bran oil

1 teaspoon Japanese soy sauce

1 teaspoon finely grated ginger, squeezed to extract juice

Juice and zest of 1 lime

Rock salt

12 freshly shucked Pacific oysters

METHOD:

Combine mirin, oil, soy sauce, lime juice and zest, and ginger juice.

Arrange rock salt on a platter and place oysters on top.

Top oysters with dressing and serve.

NOTES:

Mirin is a sweet Japanese fortified rice wine used for cooking. True mirin (labelled ‘hon mirin’) contains alcohol, so what is available in supermarkets and Asian grocery stores, and normally used, is non-alcoholic ‘mirin seasoning’. 

Rice bran oil is a neutral-flavoured oil extracted from rice, use grapeseed oil if you prefer. 

ALTERNATIVE SPECIES:

Native Oyster, Sydney Rock Oyster, steamed Saucer Scallop.
