Shiso comes in green or purple leaves with a slightly prickly texture and pointy, jagged edges, and it has a unique and vibrant taste that I could describe We did find shiso seeds in a deserted gardening section on the very top floor of a Tokyo department store, and I planted them in a pot outside my.

  6. Make ready 1 or more (to taste) Red chili pepper
  7. Take 1 Extra virgin olive oil (or grapeseed or vegetable oil)

This spicy herb has a scent reminiscent of cinnamon and cloves. You already have an order at. Shiso belongs to the mint family. It grows in the mild climate of Asia.

Instructions to make Shiso-Scented Oysters Marinated in Oil:
  1. Put the raw shucked oysters in a bowl, and add salt or katakuriko. Gently rub them with the salt or katakuriko to wash their surfaces, taking care not to smush them. Rinse under running water.
  2. You can wash the oysters with grated daikon radish instead. Use whichever method you usually use.
  3. Drain off the water, sprinkle with some sake (not listed in the ingredients) and then drain into a sieve with a bowl underneath. You can do everything up to this point in advance, and put the bowl and sieve in the refrigerator…
  4. …which lets the excess moisture drain off the oysters into the bowl so they aren't watery. If you're in a hurry, you can just wash them and proceed. Slice the garlic.
  5. Put the oil in a frying pan and heat with half the garlic to bring out their fragrance. If you want to make it spicy, add a de-seeded red chili pepper.
  6. Add the oysters and heat through.
  7. The moisture in the oysters will bubble up right away. Add the white wine and cook off the alcohol.
  8. When the oysters are cooked through, take them out so that don't shrink. (Make sure to put a bowl under the sieve.) If there is any scum, skim it off completely.
  9. Return the liquid that drained off the oysters into the bowl back to the frying pan. It has lots of umami so don't forget to add it back!
  10. Add the oyster sauce to the pan. Simmer to reduce.
  11. When the liquid in the pan has reduced a bit, put the oysters back in. Shake the frying pan to coat the oysters with the sauce. Be careful not to let them burn.
  12. Just before all the moisture in the pan has cooked off, add the soy sauce. Roll the oysters around, then take the pan off the heat. It will have a wonderful smell from the soy sauce. (Use ki-joyu (raw unpasteurized soy sauce) if possible.)
  13. Put the oysters in a container, add the remaining uncooked half of the garlic, and pour extra virgin olive oil over all. Add the bay leaves and black peppercorns too for extra flavor.
  14. I also add a red chili pepper. For this amount, it's not worth packing into jars since it's all gone the next day. If you make a large batch and and to preserve it, see the next step.
  15. Put the oysters in a clean jar, and add enough extra virgin olive oil to cover them, together with the ★ ingredients. The oysters will keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator if they are completely immersed in oil.
  16. Make sure to refrigerator them. I've never had any left over for longer than 2-3 weeks so I don't know how much longer they'd keep, but I recommend finishing them within 2 weeks.
  17. The oil will solidify in the refrigerator, but will return to its liquid state if you leave it out for a little while at room temperature.
  18. The oysters are not simmered for very long so they don't shrink much. They stay filled with their umami and plump. Since they're tossed with the sauce just at the very end, they taste very light and elegant.
  19. They taste great eaten the same day, but are even better the next day when the oil and oysters have melded. The remaining oil can be used in various recipes, so please use it all up.
  20. After being marinated for a few days, the oysters become very mild in flavor (because the flavor gets transferred to the oil). If they seem too bland to you, add a little rock salt to them.
  21. I always use extra virgin olive oil for this, but if you don't like olive oil you can try grapeseed oil or vegetable oil.
  22. Raw oysters go bad very fast, so if you use large frozen shucked oysters, you can enjoy their texture. I used frozen oysters in the photos for this recipe.
  23. If you are using frozen oysters for this recipe, it's best to defrost them and clean them as described, rather than sautéing them while they're still frozen.
