Tonight's dinner
Taiwanese Oyster Omelet with Sweet Chili Sauce
Plump cooked oysters, tender greens, and a lightly chewy egg batter make this classic night-market-inspired skillet meal.
- 30 min
- Serves 4
- Oysters
Ingredients
- 12 shucked oysters, drained and patted dry
- 2 tablespoons sweet potato starch
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 2 cups chopped baby bok choy or chrysanthemum greens
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- Steamed rice, to serve
Steps
- Whisk the sweet potato starch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the sweet chili sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, and vinegar together separately.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oysters and cook for 1 minute until their edges curl.
- Add the greens and cook just until wilted. Pour in the starch mixture and let it turn translucent for about 45 seconds.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the skillet, drizzle in remaining oil around the edge, and cook for 2 minutes until the underside is crisp.
- Fold gently or slide onto a plate; the center should remain tender while the oysters are fully cooked.
- Spoon over the sweet chili sauce, scatter with scallion, and serve with rice.
