Crispy Fried Oysters With Spicy Sauce

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh oysters
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Oil for frying
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Shuck the oysters and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.
  3. Dredge each oyster in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Panko breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the oysters in batches for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and green onion to make the spicy sauce.
  6. Serve the crispy fried oysters with the spicy sauce on the side for dipping.
