2. How to make oyster floss:
To make about 600g of oyster floss, you need to buy about 1kg of oyster meat. You can choose to buy fresh oysters or pre-shelled fresh oyster intestines sold in supermarkets.
Choosing fresh oysters:
- Look carefully at the oyster shell: You should choose oyster shells that have a tip, their shells must be tightly closed to ensure that the oysters are fresh, have a lot of meat and retain the water content inside.
- Check the oyster meat: When separating the shell, the oyster meat sticks tightly and fills the oyster shell, containing a lot of sea salt water, then this is a fresh oyster.
When choosing to buy oysters, you need to pay attention to avoid buying the following cases:
- Try tapping on an unshucked oyster, if it doesn’t make a sound, it’s a dead oyster.
- Do not buy oysters that can be shucked easily, they’re dead.
- Oysters that don’t contain water are no longer fresh.
- Oysters with eggs will have bitter meat and won’t taste good.
Preparing oysters to make floss:
- Wash the mud and dirt on the oyster shell thoroughly by using a brush to scrub the shell thoroughly. Thanks to that, moss and dirt will be removed, when the shell is opened, bacteria will not be cross-contaminated into the oyster meat.
- The opening process must be done by hand, skillfully to avoid breaking the shell, fragments mixed into the meat, affecting the quality of the floss.
- Wash the oyster meat with diluted salt water to clean the slime
Processing oyster floss:
- Marinate the oysters with spices suitable for your family’s taste. In particular, oysters are naturally salty, so do not add too much salt/fish sauce.
- Stir-fry until cooked and then dry.
- After the oysters are dry, move on to the shredding stage, depending on your preference, you can shred them into smaller or larger pieces.
- Put the pan on the stove, wait for the pan to heat up, turn the heat down to low, add the shredded oysters to the pan, stir well until the oyster floss is completely dry. If there are too many oysters, you can divide them into 2 batches. Or you can dry the oyster floss in the oven, which will save much more effort.
