Crispy chewy oyster omelette

Crispy chewy oyster omelette

Fry up this hawker favourite at home with as many ingredients as you like.

The joy of cooking oyster omelette, popularly known as orh luak in Teochew or orh jian in Hokkien, is that you get to decide exactly how many of those juicy plump oysters are going into the sizzling pan.

It is best to cook this dish with a flat pan, to match the large flat cast-iron pans used by hawkers.

I used my paella pan, which is 33cm in diameter. It is the perfect size for the amount of batter in my recipe.

If you are using a smaller pan, reduce the batter so you do not end up with a thick, starchy omelette, unless you like it that way.

Then, there is the secret to achieving those sought-after crispy brown bits.

Sweet potato flour gives that nice starchy, chewy and gooey texture, while rice flour gives the omelette an edgy crispy goodness.

As for the all-important seafood ingredient, I choose to fry the oysters on the side and serve them on top of the omelette.

It makes for a neater and more attractive presentation. More importantly, it lessens the risk of overcooking the oysters.

For my take on this local classic, I use frozen oysters which come shucked.

Quality oysters have that wonderful briny flavour of the sea. To counter fishy odours, pound some fresh ginger root, squeeze out the juice and use it to marinate the oysters.
