Chinese Oyster Soup

This is a deliciously clear broth that highlights how little oysters need in terms of culinary embellishment, and as a bonus it takes less than half an hour from shucking the first oyster to dipping your spoon in the end result.

Ingredients

12 oysters, shucked
500ml water
1 small piece of ginger, sliced
1tbsp rice wine
3tbsp spring onions, chopped
Sea salt and fresh ground white pepper

Method

Add the water to a medium pot and bring to a boil.

Add the oysters and five slices of ginger and simmer for 2-3 minutes so the oysters are just cooked – cook them too long and they will become rubbery.

Add the rice wine and spring onions and turn off the heat.

Season with salt and white pepper.
