This homie version of Or Luak tastes really good and is not oily at all... and having this dish home cooked offers yet another advantage - you can add lots of veggies to it and make it flavorful and healthy. The juicy oysters + crisp veggies + creamy egg flour... simply yummy!! My family loves this dish very much... and here’s the recipe...
The main ingredients are: fresh oysters, eggs, wheat starch, Chinese celery and spring onions. Please see Picture below for the ingredients.
Oysters are generally quite low in fat and cholesterol, and rich in Omega-3 fatty acid which is good for the heart. They are one of nature's most concentrated packages of zinc and we need adequate zinc in our body for a strong immune system. Oysters also help improve our mental functions and are mood elevators; they are also rich in amino acid tyrosine, a form of proteins which our brain converts into mentally energizing chemicals. For more info on oysters, please refer to this Wiki site.
The preparations... clean oysters and marinate with a little rice wine, sesame oil, soy sauce, raw sugar and pepper and mix with a little corn flour. Cut Chinese celery and spring onions into 2 cm long strips. Mix eggs with some wheat flour, water and a little soy sauce and rice wine and beat lightly.
Let’s start... heat a little oil in a non-stick pan, stir in veggies and fry lightly. Add the egg mixture and fry for just a while or till the mixture firms up under heat and add oysters and stir fry thoroughly for about half a minute and voilà, it’s done! p.s. please do not overcook the oysters else they will turn dry and tough; a well cooked Or Luak retains the freshness and juices of the oysters and when you eat it, you can even sense the sweet juices of the oysters ooze out in your mouth.
Hope you try this lovely homie Or Luak... Cheers!
