Ingredients

12 servings

1 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 tsp Japanese soy sauce ((substitute light soy, Note 1))
2 tbsp rice vinegar ((Note 2))
2 tsp mirin ((Note 3))
3 tbsp grapeseed or vegetable oil ((or other neutral oil))
2 tsp sesame oil (, toasted (Note 4))
1 1/2 tsp grated ginger
12 oysters ((Sydney Rock or Pacific, Note 5))
20 g / 2/3 oz (1 heaped tbsp) salmon roe (, for topping (optional, makes it extra special, Note 6))
2 tsp chives (, finely sliced)
Rock salt (, crushed ice or leafy greens - for serving bed (Note 7))

Steps

Combine sugar, soy, rice vinegar and mirin in a jug or bowl. Whisk well until sugar is dissolved. Add oils and ginger. Whisk again and use immediately.
Place oysters on a serving platter on ice or rock salt (Note 7).
Spoon dressing in each - I use 3/4 teaspoon on small oysters and 1 1/4 teaspoon for large. Or more!
Top with a small pile of salmon roe, sprinkle with chives. Serve!
