Method

Preparing the Oysters

  1. 1

    Shuck the Oysters

    Using an oyster knife, carefully shuck the fresh oysters, ensuring to keep the oyster in its shell and retaining as much of the oyster liquor as possible.

  2. 2

    Set the Oysters

    Place the shucked oysters on a serving platter or a bed of crushed ice to keep them chilled.

Making the Truffle Ponzu Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix the ponzu sauce, truffle oil, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, and mirin together until well combined.

  2. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the sauce and adjust with more lime juice or truffle oil if desired, depending on personal preference.

Plating the Dish

  1. 5

    Drizzle Sauce

    Spoon a small amount of the truffle ponzu sauce over each oyster, ensuring to cover the flesh.

  2. 6

    Add Micro Shiso

    Top each oyster with a sprig of micro shiso for garnish.

  3. 7

    Serve Immediately

    Serve the oysters immediately while chilled, with extra sauce on the side for drizzling.
