Oyster With Vietnamese Ginger-Lime Sauce


Okay, this post is not about oysters but it's about having it with sweet, spicy and sour Vietnamese Ginger Lime Sauce. I bought some Malpeque oysters and shucked them at home. They were quite large but thankfully they are not "milky" at all. Well, what can go wrong with freshly shuck oysters with some ginger lime sauce? They were just perfect!!

Recipe adapted from Pleasures Of The Vietnamese Table by Mai Pham

Ginger-Lime Dipping Sauce (nuoc mam gung)

Ingredients

1 tsp Chopped Garlic
2 Fresh Thai Small Chilies
3 Tbsp Sugar
3 Tbsp Minced Ginger
2 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice
1/4 Cup Fish Sauce
3 Tbsp Water

Method

Place the garlic, chilies and sugar and ginger in a mortar and pound into a paste. (You can also chop by hand.) Transfer to a small bowl and add the fish sauce, lime juice and water. Stir well to combine. Set aside for 15 minutes before serving.

    I've been totally addicted to fresh oysters lately, I'm wondering where you got your oysters and how much did they cost?

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
