#tempuraoysters make it to #brunyisland

A friend and loyal follower of freespiritfood.net sent me these great photos of making the Tempura Oysters with Wasabi Mayonaise recipe on her current sailing trip around Tasmania, our beautiful Island State off the coast of mainland Australia.

Freshly shucked Bruny Island oyster!

Seems that my recent post of the recipe neatly coincided with their fresh haul of famed Bruny Island oysters so they made do with just cold water, no ice in the batter and they still turned out well. Apparently the hosts have added the recipe to the boat’s standing menu now. Yay!

#Tempura #Oysters with #wasabi mayonaise

Worth the effort of battering oysters! Trust me! Very easy…don’t be scared of making tempura batter …it is easy as. However it’s worth making more than less to make full use of the oil as you do need to deep fry them.

Ingredients:

  • 12-24 natural oysters in shells
  • 3/4 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup cold mineral water and 6 small ice cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1.5 cup Vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 teaspoons wasabi
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise

Method

1. Mix mineral water with ice cubes and set aside

2.Mix wasabi and mayonaise and place in dipping bowl

2. Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl

3. Add water and ice cubes to flour and whisk until you get a creamy consistency, don’t worry about lumps.

4. Unattach oysters from shells, wipe shells and place on weaving platter.

5. Heat oil in small, deep frying or wok until drop of batter sizzles.

6. Dip oysters in batter and fry until batter is crisp and golden.

7. Drain on paper towel for a moment and place on oyster shells.

8. Serve with wasabi mayonaise…I serve alongside natural oysters as well.
