I hate shellfish. I could never understood how people can swallow oysters and go HMMM YUMMY. My mother let me eat it when I was young and I almost threw up. I tried from time to time but never worked.
.
But these days health comes first, especially for Noa. He doesn’t eat shellfish either, but when you read how nutritious oysters are, you cannot ignore them.
.
100g of oysters provide over 100% of the RDI for vitamin B12, zinc and copper, and over 75% of your daily needs for selenium and vitamin D. WOW.
.
So what can we do about this? One idea which came to mind was to make oyster sauce. The common commercial oyster sauce is disgusting, it only contains around 0.4-0.5% oyster essence and the rest consists of thickners, flavor enhancers and other things. Thickners are particularly concerning, because you will need a lot of that to make such thin liquid come out that sticky. Starch and gums can be persorbed into your blood stream and could cause embolism in small vessels.
.
You can see how little I can make from cooking 6kg of frozen oysters! and this is really pure essence. Last batch was made with Japanese wild kudzu to make it sticky but this time, the only other ingredients I used were organic Japanese tamari and organic sugar, that is it. Sure it is a bit more liquid but we don’t care about that
.
Anyway, I always put some of this to our soup. It is the best flavor enhancer and you will eat all of it, no waste.
.
This time I also dehydrated the oyster meat so that we can use it in future cooking as well, or give few pieces to our dogs from time to time. They also deserve some goodies, don’t they! They are still full of flavors!! (at Bangkok, Thailand)
