Chaozhou Fried Oyster Pancake

Chaozhou Fried Oyster Pancake pairs plump oysters with a chewy sweet-potato starch batter and rich duck eggs, lifted by fish sauce, white pepper, coriander, and green onions. It’s simple but deeply satisfying—savory, aromatic, and best enjoyed while hot, with the oysters staying front and center.

Ingredients

• 200 g oysters
  
• 3 duck eggs
  
• 10 g coriander (chopped)

• 2 tablespoons corn starch

Steps

1. Start by cleaning the oysters. Rub the oysters with corn starch and oil
   
2. Wash and rinse with water for a few times until the water is clear
   
3. Mix sweet potato starch with water until you get this thick yoghurt consistency
   
4. Pour the batter with oysters
   
5. Add in fish sauce, white pepper, coriander and green onions. Mix until well combined
   
6. In a heated pan with thick oil, pour the oyster batter into the pan and lay flat
   
7. Let sit in the pan for about 2 minutes and pour the whisked duck eggs onto the pancake. Make sure you also flip sides and let fry for 2-3 minutes per side before serving
   
8. That’s done! Serve and enjoy while hot!
