Garlic Steamed Oysters
8 medium sized fresh oysters
3 Tbs vegetable oil
6 large garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbs sesame oil
Thoroughly scrub oysters under cold running water. Open them; leave on the
half shell, severing oyster from the muscle with a sharp knife while taking
care not to lose oyster liquor from shell. Arrange oysters--carefully, so as
not to spill the oyster liquor--on a heatproof dish such as a Pyrex pie
plate. Place a rack in wok; fill with water to the bottom edge of the rack.
Cover; bring to a boil. Place dish containing oysters on rack, cover, and
steam for 5 minutes or until just cooked through. Do not overcook.
Meanwhile, about 2 minutes before oysters are ready, heat vegetable oil in a
small non-stick skillet on high heat. When hot, add garlic and cook until
tender, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let garlic brown. Stir in sesame
oil; remove skillet from heat. The mixture must be sizzling hot.
Remove lid from wok; immediately spoon about 1 teaspoon garlic mixture over
each oyster. Remove dish containing oysters from steamer and either serve
from the dish or transfer oysters to heated platter. Serve at once.
