The Fried Oysters My Dad's Made 100,000 Times

Ingredients

• 10 oz oyster
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 oz cabbage
• 10 oz corn oil
• 4 tablespoon flour
• 1.5 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 0.33 teaspoon white pepper
• 4.5 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Clean oysters: Place the oysters in a bowl. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and gently mix it into the oysters, being careful not to break up them up.

2. 2

   Prep batter & cabbage: To a bowl, add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic salt, white pepper, fish sauce and water. Stir until it becomes a smooth batter (it should flow in a steady stream when poured) and set aside.

3. 3

   Cook oysters: Heat a wok on high. When the wok is hot enough, pour in the oil and wait for it to reach 330°F (165°C).

4. 4

   Fry oysters: Increase the heat to high to bring the oil up to a temp of 390°F (199°C).
