金鉢焗蚝仔
材料:
鸡蛋4只,
蚝仔160克,
姜丝少许,
果皮(浸软,切丝)少许,
蒜(切片)2粒,
干葱(切片)2片,
葱(切粒)1根,
油条 1/2 。

洗蚝料:
盐2茶匙,生粉2汤匙。

余水料:
水 1/2 量杯,姜2片,酒1汤匙。

调料:
盐 1/3 茶匙,
鸡粉 1/3 茶匙,
糖 1/4 茶匙,
鸡汤150克,
麻油少许,
胡椒粉少许。

制法:
(1)蚝仔用洗蚝料拌匀、洗净,拣出蚝壳碎,下汆水料汆水,沥干水分,备用。
(2)油条蒸软,切碎后置于碟底。
(3)锅烧热,下油1汤匙,下蒜片、干葱片爆香,取出。
(4)将3只鸡蛋、调味料及其他所有材料一同搅匀,放入钵头内蒸12分钟至熟,取出。用布抹干蛋面的水分,再用1只鸡蛋打匀放在钵顶面上,以焗炉火力 250∼300°C 焗5分钟至蛋面起焦,即成。

心得:
(1)蚝仔容易藏有碎壳,必须彻底清洗干净和拣去蚝壳,以免弄损口腔。
(2)新鲜蚝仔切勿置于冰柜中,但时间不能超过一天,否则会变质而腐坏。
(3)鸡蛋蒸熟后应尽快放入焗炉,才会甘香嫩滑。
(4)蚝仔分量可酌量增多,以使鲜味更浓烈。
(5)此菜水分不能过多或过少,前者有水汪汪的状态,后者则干身粗糙,口感欠缺。
(6)不用蚝仔,也可用白饭鱼、鱼肠或蚝豉松取替。

**Golden Claypot Baked Baby Oysters**

**Ingredients**:
- 4 eggs
- 160g baby oysters
- A few shredded ginger
- A few soaked and shredded dried tangerine peel
- 2 garlic cloves (sliced)
- 2 shallots (sliced)
- 1 green onion (chopped)
- ½ fried dough stick (油条)

**Oyster Cleaning Mixture**:
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cornstarch

**Blanching Liquid**:
- ½ cup water
- 2 slices ginger
- 1 tbsp cooking wine

**Seasonings**:
- ⅓ tsp salt
- ⅓ tsp chicken bouillon powder
- ¼ tsp sugar
- 150g chicken broth
- A dash of sesame oil
- A dash of white pepper

**Instructions**:
1. **Prepare the Oysters**:
- Mix baby oysters with the cleaning mixture (salt and cornstarch), then rinse thoroughly. Remove any shell fragments.
- Blanch in the prepared blanching liquid (water, ginger, and wine). Drain and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Fried Dough Stick**:
- Steam the fried dough stick until softened. Chop finely and spread at the bottom of a claypot or heatproof dish.

3. **Aromatics**:
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Sauté garlic and shallots until fragrant, then remove.

4. **Assemble and Cook**:
- Whisk 3 eggs with all seasonings, blanched oysters, sautéed aromatics, shredded ginger, tangerine peel, and green onion. Pour into the claypot.
- Steam for 12 minutes until set. Pat the surface dry with a cloth.
- Beat the remaining egg and spread over the surface. Bake at 250–300°C (480–570°F) for 5 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.

**Tips**:
1. **Shell Fragments**: Clean oysters meticulously to avoid mouth injuries from hidden shells.
2. **Freshness**: Do not refrigerate fresh baby oysters for over 24 hours to prevent spoilage.
3. **Timing**: Transfer steamed eggs to the oven immediately for tender texture.
4. **Adjust Oysters**: Increase oyster quantity for a richer flavor.
5. **Moisture Balance**: Avoid excess liquid (soggy texture) or too little (dryness).
6. **Substitutes**: Replace oysters with whitebait, fish intestines, or dried oyster floss.
