Oyster Po' Boy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a bowl, combine pickled radish, cucumber, carrot, and cilantro. Toss together and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Remoulade

    In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise and Sambal Oelek. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Oysters

    In a shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix with buttermilk.

  4. 4

    Fry the Oysters

    Dip each oyster in the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the oysters until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Po' Boy

    Cut the baguette in half and lightly toast. Spread a generous amount of Sambal-infused remoulade on both sides. Layer the fried oysters, slaw, and more remoulade if desired.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Oyster Po' Boy with a side of fries.
