Kaki fry

Method

1. 1 Wash the oysters in diluted salt water mixed with cornstarch to remove the slime and sand.
2. 2 Pat each oyster dry thoroughly; any remaining water will cause the oil to splatter and the powdery shell to loosen.
3. 3 Roll the dough in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly.
4. 4 Fry at 180 degrees for 2 minutes; cooking them longer will cause the oysters to shrink and lose their sweetness.
5. 5 Remove from the grill, squeeze lemon juice over it, dip in tonkatsu sauce, and eat immediately while the skin is still crispy.
