Ingredients

• Fresh oysters - 200 grams
• Eggs - 4 large
• Sweet potato starch - 60 grams
• Water - 120 ml
• Spring onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix sweet potato starch with water until smooth to create the batter.
2. Add the minced garlic, chopped spring onions, and black pepper to the batter, mixing well.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
4. Pour half of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a base.
5. Add half of the fresh oysters on top of the batter and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set.
6. Crack 2 eggs over the oysters and batter, gently spreading the eggs to cover. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the eggs are set.
7. Carefully flip the omelette to cook the other side for another 2 minutes, adding more oil if necessary.
