OYSTERS TEMPURA WITH WASABI AIOLI
My friend and I served this for Super Bowl Sunday last year with fresh oysters we gathered from Apalachicola Bay only an hour before and we about had a riot on our hands trying to keep them coming to the table fast enough for the guys to scarf down.

Steps:
- For the sushi rice: Wash the rice several times until the water runs clear. Cover the rice with cold water and soak for 20 minutes. Drain and place the rice in a rice cooker. Add 3-3/4 cups water. Cover and cook until the water is absorbed. While the rice is cooking, combine the rice wine vinegar, mirin and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat. When the rice is cooked, remove from the cooker and place in a large wooden bowl. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the vinegar and sugar mixture. When the vinegar mixture is folded in, cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- For the sambal aioli: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the lemon juice, sambal, garlic and egg yolks and process until combined. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the canola oil to create an emulsion. If the aioli needs to be thinned out after all of the oil has been added, thin with a little water or lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- *RAW EGG WARNING
- Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
- To make the Tempura Shrimp Maki Roll: Preheat a fryer to 360 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Add the club soda until the consistency of pancake batter is achieved. Butterfly the shrimp by slicing lengthwise down the back. Dip the shrimp in the tempura batter and then place in the fryer and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate.
- On a sushi mat, lay down 1 piece of the nori, shiny side down. Spread the sushi rice on one half of the nori, about 1/4-inch thick. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the sambal aioli over the rice. In the center of the rice, lay down 1/4 cup of the cucumber and a few strip of red bell pepper in a line that reaches from one side of the nori to the other. Top the cucumber with 3 pieces of the tempura shrimp. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the wasabi tobbiko over the shrimp. Roll the sushi up, using the sushi mat. To seal the roll, use a little water along the edge of the nori. Cut the roll into 6 pieces. Repeat this procedure 3 more times to create 4 rolls.

Steps:
- Add the egg yolks and white wine vinegar to a food processor. With the blade running, gradually add the canola oil, little by little, until the mixture is emulsified. Season with kosher salt. If the aioli is too thick, you can thin it out with a little water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Spoon the aioli into a bowl and set aside. Combine the wasabi powder and a little water in a small bowl. Add to the aioli and stir to combine. Season with kosher salt. Transfer to a pastry bag and set aside.
- To another food processor bowl, add the parsley and pulse to combine. Add the coarse sea salt and process until the parsley is fully incorporated with the salt.
- Toss the endives and pear in a small bowl and set aside.
- Set up a deep-fryer with canola oil and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with a paper towel.
- Combine the panko and crushed wasabi peas together in a bowl. Add the flour to a second bowl and whole eggs to a third; whisk the eggs with a bit of water. Dredge the oysters in the flour first, then egg, and finally the panko-wasabi mixture. Fry the oysters until crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel and season immediately with kosher salt.
- To plate, add 3 mounds of parsley salt on the bottom of a rectangular plate. Nestle 3 shells into each salt mound. Pipe 1 dollop of wasabi aioli into each shell. Add a small bit of the endive and pear salad. Top each with a fried oyster. Add 1 more dollop of wasabi aioli. Garnish with crushed wasabi peas.
CRISP FRIED OYSTERS WITH ASIAN VEGETABLE SLAW AND GARLIC-ANCHOVY AIOLI
Steps:
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside. Wash and drain the oysters. Pat them dry. Wash and dry the shells and set them aside. Whisk together the eggs and milk. Place the flour into a plastic bag and the panko bread crumbs onto a shallow dish. Working with a few at a time, place the oysters into the flour and shake to coat. Dip the oysters into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs. Place the coated oysters on the prepared cookie sheet and continue coating until you have prepared all of the oysters. (If not frying immediately, cover and refrigerate).
- Combine the rock salt and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Lay a banana leaf out on each of 6 plates. Place an equal portion of the salt mixture in the center of each leaf. Arrange 5 oyster shells around the banana leaf and fill each one with Asian Vegetable Slaw.
- Heat the oil to 365 degrees on a candy thermometer in a deep-fat fryer. Working with a few at a time, drop the breaded oysters into the hot fat and fry for about 1 minute or until golden. Using a slotted spoon, lift the oysters from the fat and drain on paper towels. Continue frying until all of the oysters are cooked.
- Place a fried oyster on top of each slaw-filled shell. Spoon a small dot of Garlic-Anchovy Aioli on the top of each oyster. Place a lime wedge next to each oyster and serve.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut oil and rice wine vinegar. Add the lime and lemon juices and whisk to combine. Whisk in the soy sauce, mirin, sake, nam pla, and sriracha. When well combined, stir in the sugar and garlic. Set aside.
- Place the carrot and the leek in boiling salted water for 30 seconds to set the color. Immediately drain and refresh under cold running water until well chilled. Pat dry.
- Place the blanched carrot and leek in a mixing bowl along with the bok choy and cucumber. Add the reserved sauce and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
- Place the eggs and vinegar in a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously to combine. (If you are concerned about the safety of eating uncooked eggs, replace the above ingredients and the peanut oil with 1 1/2 cups fine-quality mayonnaise, which can be seasoned with the anchovies, garlic, and turmeric.) Add the anchovies, garlic, and turmeric and whisk to blend. Slowly whisk in the oil, beating until the mixture is the consistency of mayonnaise. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Store, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.
