Method
- 1 Wash the oysters in diluted salt water mixed with cornstarch, then drain them thoroughly in a sieve.
- 2 Pat each egg dry with paper towels; this step is crucial in determining whether the egg layer will adhere properly.
- 3 Roll the oysters in flour, then dip them in beaten eggs mixed with chopped scallions.
- 4 Fry over medium heat for 90 seconds on each side; oysters cook very quickly and shrink if fried for too long.
- 5 Serve hot with soy sauce and vinegar dressing.

Replace step 4: thoroughly spray the egg-coated oysters with oil, fry at 190 degrees for 6 minutes, flipping at the 3rd minute; remove immediately so the oysters don't shrink and the egg coating remains soft.
