Ingredients

• Fresh oysters - 200 grams
• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Soy sauce - 30 ml
• Mirin - 15 ml
• Sesame oil - 10 ml
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 100 ml
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lemon - 1, for garnish

Steps

1. Drain the tofu and cut it into bite-sized cubes. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
3. Add the fresh oysters to the marinade and let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, heat a little oil and carefully add the tofu cubes. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the marinated oysters along with the marinade. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the oysters are cooked through.
6. Dissolve the cornstarch in water and add it to the skillet to thicken the sauce. Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
7. Return the browned tofu to the skillet, gently mixing it with the oyster sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions and lemon wedges on the side.
