It’s October! Perfect timing to shuck some oysters! This indulgent oysters recipe with rich umami flavours will leave you craving more…Trust me! This is proper food porn.
Ingredients:
– 6 Oysters
– Pack Enoki mushrooms (150g)
– Butter (unsalted)
– White miso
– 2tbsp dried seaweed salad
– 1tsp mirin
– 1tsp rice Vinegar
– 1tsp Sesame Oil
– 1tsp Soy Sauce

Method:
Lemon-miso Butter
I usually make a bigger batch and then refrigerate it. I always use 2 parts butter (for example 4tbps) + 1 part miso (2tbsp).
1. Let butter soften at room temperature
2. Cream butter and miso together, squeeze juice of ½ or 1 lemon (depending how lemony you want it).
3. Mix and use as required.
Baked enoki mushrooms
1. Chop the roots off.
2. Add a little butter in the pan, fry mushrooms until golden.
3. Add 1-2 tsp of miso lemon butter, fry for another few mins until crispy.
Seaweed salad
1. Simply soak some dried seaweed salad in water for 15 mins to get 1/3 cup of mixed seaweed. Drain, place in a bowl.
2. Mix 1tsp of mirin, 1tsp rice vinegar, 1tsp roasted sesame oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, pinch of chilli (optional)
3. Pour over the dressing.
4. Shuck the oysters, add enoki mushrooms and seaweed. If you looking for more heat – add couple drops of tabasco. Enjoy!
