Notes
Steamed Oysters is a home-style coastal dish that preserves the original flavor. The oyster meat is tender and juicy, carrying a faint salty sea fragrance, with the garlic and ginger bringing out a fresh sweet taste. Oysters are rich in high-quality protein and zinc, which can help boost immunity. The operation isn't complex, but lifting the boiling pot lid and handling the oyster shells requires a little caution, making it achievable for beginners. From brushing to serving, it only takes about twenty minutes.
