Makes about 3 servings.
My flour-to-water ratio gives a chewier texture. If you cook it a bit longer, the edges get crispy, but since oysters and bok choy release moisture, the crispiness softens quickly.

I remember it used to cost $35 per serving, now it's about $60. I haven't had it from a vendor in a long time... It's too expensive and not filling enough, so let's make it at home!

Add as many oysters as you like, or swap in shrimp or clams—whatever you prefer.
