List of Ingredients




36 oysters, fresh in the shell
2 tsp garlic, crushed
1 tsp red chili pepper, minced
2 tsp ginger, minced
3 tsp lemon grass
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2-3 tsp fresh mint, chopped fine
lime juice
fish sauce
salt
sugar
freshly ground black pepper

Open oysters over a dish and allow their juices to drip in. Remove top shells and discard, then loosen the oysters from the bottom shells. (Hint: It's a lot easier and they have just bit of a better taste if you grill them until the shell just pops open.)

Place garlic, chili, ginger and lemon grass in a sauce pan to a medium hot pan with the oil. Fry gently until very aromatic then add the mint.

Make up a generous amount of sauce with lime juice, fish sauce, salt, sugar and pepper in proportions to taste and simmer gently for about 1 minute. Drop oysters, and reserved liquid into pot and heat gently just long enough to warm the oysters through. Return oysters to shells, and drop fried herbs on top with a portion of the sauce.
