Ingredients

Sesame Aioli:

  • 1/2 ounce hijiki seaweed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon diced jalapeno
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Oysters:

  • 1 cup sliced lap cheong (Chinese sausage)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 oysters
  • Mizuna, for serving
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

For the sesame aioli: Soak the hijiki in warm water for 5 minutes. Drain, chop and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger, jalapeno, and shallots to the oil and saute until they soften, about 45 seconds. Make sure you don't brown the ingredients. Next, add the soy sauce, mirin and rice wine vinegar. Turn the heat up to a boil, and reduce by half, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.

In a bowl, add the mayonnaise, hijiki and the reduced soy sauce mixture. Stir until combined. Then, slowly add the sesame oil while stirring. Yield: 1 1/2 cups.

For the oysters: Heat the lap cheong in a saute pan over medium heat until it is slightly rendered, about 1 minute. Remove the lap cheong from the pan and dice.

Next, add the olive oil, garlic and shallots to the saute pan and cook over medium heat until they're nice and toasty, about 1 minute. Make sure you don't brown the garlic and shallots. Then add the spinach and cook until it is lightly wilted. Remove the spinach from the heat and allow to cool. Finish with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat a grill to medium heat.

Wash, scrub and shuck your oysters. Remove the oysters from the shells and fill the shells with sauteed spinach. Place the oysters on top of the spinach. Then top each of the oysters with more sauteed spinach, some sesame aioli and lap cheong.

Put the oysters on the grill, close the lid and within 5 minutes they will be ready to eat.

To plate, place some salad on a platter, such as mizuna, a Chinese lettuce. Then, set the 12 oysters on top of the salad and garnish with lemon wedges.

    Briana, I can tell you where to stick that left over sausage and seaweed. GREAT recipe. I did it with Kachemak oyster in Homer, Alaska. Everyone raved.

    Fabulous! The flavors of this dish are spectacular and worth the time to prepare especially the sesame aioli. I never heard of lap cheong but it is commonly available at any asian market. Funny, while shopping at my local Costco I saw that they carry this sausage as well as oysters on the half shell (frozen isle. One suggestion is to rinse off the oysters and the shell because the first time I made this dish, there were pieces of the shell in the oysters. We use only 1 cup of the aioli for 24 oysters and have some left over. Everyone, I mean everyone, even my 9 year old ate a huge plate of these. My guests put away 24 of these babies, no problem. The presentation of the oysters in the shell is really appealing. If you are an oyster fan, this recipe is for you.
