Ingredients

300 g Fresh Oysters
1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour for washing the oysters
3 tbsp Sweet Potato Flour
50 ml Water
20 g Green Onion finely chopped
1 tsp Fish Sauce
2 Eggs
50 g Lard

Instructions

Prepare the Oysters:

Place the fresh oysters in a bowl and add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour.
Gently toss the oysters in the flour to coat them.
Rinse the oysters thoroughly with clean water to remove any dirt or residue. Drain and set aside.

Create the Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato flour and water.
Stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter without any lumps.
Add the finely chopped green onion and a teaspoon of fish sauce to the batter.
Add the washed oysters to the batter.
Stir until the mixture forms a smooth batter, coating the oysters evenly.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until well blended.

Fry the Oysters:

In a pan, heat the lard over medium heat until it's hot and shimmering.
Carefully add the oyster-batter mixture to the hot lard and spread it out to form a single layer. Allow the mixture to fry for a short while until it turns golden and crispy on the bottom.

Add the Egg Mixture:

Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the oysters.Allow the eggs to cook for a minute, giving them a chance to set slightly.

Flip and Cook:

Gently flip the omelette to the other side using a spatula. You can employ wok tossing for flipping the Oyster Omelette, much like the technique demonstrated in the video.
Continue to cook for another minute or until both sides are golden and crispy. Once the omelette is cooked to perfection, transfer it to a serving plate.
Elevate the presentation by garnishing the oyster omelette with a few sprigs of fresh herbs, such as chopped cilantro or parsley. These herbs not only add a burst of color but also enhance the aroma of the dish.
