Ingredients:

1 Head Garlic Cloves
1 inch cube Ginger, Finely Chopped
2/3 medium Carrot, Finely Chopped
1 stalk Green Onion
For Vegetable Mixture
2 tbsp. Cooking Oil
1/8 tsp. White Pepper
1 tbsp. Oyster Sauce
3 large Oyster [Way1]
3 large Oyster [Way2]
Flour Seasoning
1/3 cup Flour
1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. White Pepper
1/2 tsp. Dill Weed
1 large Egg
1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
3 cup Cooking Oil [Oyster Fring]

Directions:

Step 1

Oven Roasted Oysters : Peel and mince the garlic, slice and mince the ginger and carrot, and combine them in a bowl. Finely chop the green onion and transfer to a separate bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a small saucepan, then pour it into the garlic, ginger, and carrot mixture. Season with white pepper and oyster sauce and mix well.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.

Step 4

Shuck the oysters. Pour a pile of coarse sea salt onto a baking sheet and nestle the oysters on the half shell into the salt. Bake for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the oven. Spoon the oil and vegetable mixture on top of the oysters and garnish with chopped green onions. Bake for another 5 minutes. Serve.

Step 6

Fried Oysters: Shuck the remaining oysters, completely removing the meat from the shells. Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, chili powder, onion powder, salt, white pepper, and dill weed and mix well. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the bread crumbs.

Step 8

Dip each oyster first into the flour mixture, then into the egg, then into the breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Heat about 3 inches of oil in a pot. Add the breaded oysters and fry, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

Pour a bed of coarse sea salt onto a serving plate. Arrange the baked and fried oysters on top of the salt, and garnish with dill, sliced cherry belle radish, edible flowers, and red sorrel leaves.

Step 11

Serve immediately.
