A great appetizer as is, cold or warm. This goes so well with sake, shochu or white wine. You can enjoy on top of rice or with pasta as main.

Steps

1

Rinse fresh oysters and spread a pinch of salt (extra amount) over. Let them sit for approx.10 mins to remove water.
2

Place oysters in a medium pan on medium heat, and heat them until cooked. Remove half of extra water using kitchen towel.
3

Lower heat and add sliced garlic and oyster sauce. Slightly mix and heat for a few minutes until garlic flavor and oyster sauce are blended in.
4

Put cooked oysters, garlic and liquid into a sterilized jar. Add olive oil until oysters are completely covered. Add a pinch of blue pepper corns.

FYI - Instead of blue pepper, black pepper or pink pepper would also be good substitutes. You could also add chili pepper if you like it hot. (Just a touch. It won’t get too hot, though.)

FYI - I buy these fresh oysters in jars. Available at Japanese supermarkets. I also saw them at Costco.
