This is a specialty in my hometown, FuChien
We do call it Oh Chien meaning oyster omelets or translated, fried oyster
My mother loves OH Chien , she would look for it evertime she is expecting a child. I posted a recipe here a month or so ago when I found a recipe for I believe (? calamari omelette but there was no response from anyone.)
I cannot find it now.
If you can find it, it is a very good recipe.
I do not measure when I cook.
It would be a recipe homeowners can follow, excellent / not greasy ,/ healthy
I found it in a Chinese restaurant in DC ( not in the menu) but can ask the chef to cook it for me and my friends which he would grudgingly oblige as his wife is patient. The restaurant is probably non existent now.
The recipe calls for sweet potato starch ( fine one as opposed to the coarser kind) , an egg or 2 to bind, depending on how much you are cooking, very fresh bean sprout, rinsed and dried on a towel, lots of chinese chives, ( green type , yellow if yo u can find them but quite pricey especially y when they have flowers on them , fresh oysters, you can chop it if you want and its juice as well as tiny shrimp that i precook, sauteed in olive oil, ginger and garlic, S/P. SCALLION IS NOT WHAT WE USE. YOU WILL FIND THE CHINESE CHIVES ARE SO MUCH TASTIERβ¦
Mix all of these together, consistency of pancake batter, then pan fry on very lightly greased pan. I use my Vulcan Plancha which is part of my range, as I will cook while people would eat them as I am cooking⦠Can never cook fast enough for m guest who hovers around as I am dying them Alternatively, you can buy very small 2-5 inches size cast iron pan to cook it in for presentation. We eat it with ketchup and tabasco.
