3 eggs (beaten)
3 tablespoons of sweet potato flour
1 tablespoon of corn flour
6 tablespoons of water
Half teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
1 tablespoon of Chinese Cooking Wine Hua Tiao Chiew

4 large red chillies
Half thumb size young ginger (sliced)
2 clove garlic
2 tablespoons of Apple Vinegar
1 tablespoon of hot water
Half teaspoon of coarse sugar

Blend the ingredients until you get a sauce like consistency and taste.

Note: As the oyster has such a delicate flavour, oysters are best eaten raw unless they are cooked very lightly in a matter of minutes or seconds.

How to give the oysters an amazing purity of flavor:

Remove frozen oysters from packaging.
Add half teaspoon of sea salt to a bowl of water and add in the oysters.
Leave it for about 10 minutes.
Then place in a fine mesh colander and rinse under tap water to wash away any fragments of shell.
Bring a small pot of water to boil, add the oysters and blanch for few seconds.
Drain.
