I love eating freshly shucked oysters and especially love the different oyster dressing flavors. These Asian Dressed Oysters provide a delicious way to enjoy fresh oysters, instead of eating them ‘au naturel’ with plain lemon.
This recipe has Chinese inspired flavors with soy sauce, ginger and chili. However, I’m not sure this method of preparing and eating oysters is traditionally Chinese. So Asian Dressed Oysters it is!
Living by the ocean, I love eating fresh seafood. Every supermarket in Australia sells fresh Oysters on the half shell, which is perfect for this recipe. You will need to buy Rock Salt to serve your fresh oysters with. They aren’t for eating, but placed on your serving plate. Oysters are uneven and hard to put on a plate. The Rock Salt allows the oysters to be served upright. It also looks kind of cool, but don’t eat the Rock Salt!
I usually buy a dozen oysters and mix them up with various flavors of dressings. Oysters Kilpatrick is my favorite way to eat oysters, grilled in the oven with bacon. But this recipe is a close second! It’s so easy to make and full of flavor, serving this to guests will make you feel like an oyster masterchef. Bon Appetit! Приятного аппетита!

I started this website as a way to capture the recipes that I grew up with, and pass them onto the next generation. Being world travellers, there are foods from all over the world, but my passion is primarily the Slavic and Russian foods I grew up with.
These look fantastic. Love oysters and love Asian flavor profiles. If you ever get a chance, check out Island Creek Oysters. They are by far the best oysters I have ever worked with and had the pleasure to eat.
Thanks! I’ve never heard of those oysters before, will check it out! Cheers
Stop it!! That sounds (and looks) sooo tasty 🙂
Lol – Thanks Amanda! I love these flavours together, works so well! ????

Thanks Ronit! And super easy!
