Introduction
A classic Taiwanese home-style dish, 'Oysters in Fermented Black Bean Sauce,' paired with crispy fried dough sticks (youtiao) and a rich, savory black bean sauce. The oysters are coated in sweet potato starch and poached in residual heat to lock in their freshness and moisture, resulting in plump, juicy bites that go perfectly with steamed rice.
Step 1
Cut the fried dough sticks into small pieces and arrange them at the bottom of a serving plate; separate the garlic sprout stalks into white sections and thinly sliced green garnish.
Step 2
Evenly dust the oysters with sweet potato starch (no need to massage, to avoid excessive stickiness).
Step 3
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then turn off the heat. Add the starch-coated oysters and poach in the residual heat until cooked, then remove and drain.
Step 4
Heat oil in a pan and sauté the fermented black beans over low heat until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the garlic sprout white sections and stir-fry. Add soy sauce, rice wine, thick soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper, simmering until the sauce thickens (do not add too much water).
Ingredients List
Important Notes
💡 Simply dust the surface of the oysters with sweet potato starch; no need to massage it in too thoroughly, as excessive starch can create too much mucus and affect the texture.
⚠️ When poaching the oysters, be sure to use the 'boil water, then turn off the heat' method. This prevents the oysters from shrinking and keeps them plump and tender.
✨ This dish does not require additional thickening agents, as the sweet potato starch on the oysters will naturally thicken the sauce during the final stir-fry, so avoid adding too much water when preparing the sauce.
