Orh Luak Recipe
The perfect marriage of just-cooked-to-perfection oysters, eggs, a somewhat crisp finish of the flour and starch mixture is what to expect from this dish.
Ingredients:
- 8 - 10 large fresh oysters or 1/2 lb frozen oysters
- 2 tbsp tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp rice flour
- 8 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 3 whole eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp light soya sauce
- 1 tbsp chinese wine
- Ground white pepper
- Sprigs of cilantro and chopped spring onions for garnishing
Method:
- Wash the oysters and drain well.
- Mix both tapioca starch and rice flour together with the water to make a very thin batter.
- Heat a large heavy frying pan until very hot and add oil.
- Pour in the batter and cook for about 15 seconds until batter is half set before adding in the eggs.
- When the eggs are almost set, make a hole in the centre by pushing the egg and batter mixture to the side of the pan.
- Pour in a little more oil and fry the garlic for a few seconds.
- Mix, then season with soya sauce, chinese wine and pepper.
- Add oysters and cook just long enough to heat through.
- Garnish and serve immediately accompanied by Chili Sambal.
