1
First, prepare the sashimi grade oysters.
-
2
Lightly sprinkle with salt and shake, then rinse.
-
3
Place in a colander.
-
4
Don't wash the oysters with anything (grated daikon for example).
-
5
The flavoring ingredients will have quite the punch of flavor.
-
6
If you wash the oysters with grated daikon, they will lose their flavor.
-
7
Remove the center core from the white part of the Japanese leek.
-
8
The outer part will be used as a condiment and the inner part will be used to add fragrance.
-
9
Finely chop but don't soak in water.
-
10
These are the main ingredients.
-
11
Blot the moisture from the oysters with a paper towel.
-
12
Add the ginger, garlic, and leek to the oysters and rub them in.
-
13
Add half of the roasted sesame seeds while crushing them between your fingers to release the aroma.
-
14
Add a handful of finely chopped green onion, 1 teaspoon of chili pepper powder, and the vinegar.
-
15
Gently mix together.
-
16
Everything until this point has been to add fragrance, not flavor.
-
17
Leave it to sit in the refrigerator for a short time...
-
18
Since moisture will be released, drain it through a colander.
-
19
And from now we will flavor the oysters.
-
20
Add another teaspoon of chili pepper powder, a pinch of sugar, a handful of green onion, then gently stir together.
-
21
Add the remaining sesame seeds while crushing them between your fingers.
-
22
Add 1-2 teaspoons of soy sauce and drizzle in a bit of sesame oil.
-
23
Then they'll be nice and plump.
-
24
Like in this photo.
-
25
Can you tell?
-
26
The chili pepper powder and the semi-crushed sesame seeds will absorb the moisture and thicken the sauce, which is why there are lots of both added.
-
27
Lay a bed of shiso leaves on a plate and place the oysters on top.
-
28
Also add some shredded Japanese leek to cleanse your palate.
-
29
It's done!
-
30
The oysters are so milky.
-
31
There is not even any smell left.
-
32
Even though the flavoring is so simple... it tastes just like fresh liver sashimi.
-
33
Korean chili pepper powder is really not that spicy.
-
34
It's a type of pepper that gives a sweet flavor and nice aroma.
-
35
But it is, of course, a chili pepper.
-
36
So it is naturally a bit spicy.
-
37
Adjust the amount to taste.
