Oh Chien (Fried Oyster Omelette)

Oh Chien (Fried Oyster Omelette) is a favorite hawker food in Malaysia and there are plenty of choices to enjoy this delicacy around town. The more common ones would be the gooey stick base and the other is the crispy base.

The ingredients for both versions are basically quite similar, with the difference in the texture and the frying technique. Fried oyster has the combination of rice flour batter, chives, egg and oysters, fried in a flat griddle over high heat. The key to making a good fried oyster omelette is with the starch solution.

Some stalls have their Oh Chien garnished with coriander leaves.

You can choose to have all the sauces or request for less sauce depending on your preference.
