Steamed Albany Rock Oysters with Ponzu, Sesame Panko Crumbs and Kaffir Lime

Method

Crisp Panko

1. Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat.
2. Add the panko and gently toss until they begin to brown.
3. Add the sesame seeds and toss to evenly distribute through the crumb.
4. Season with salt and remove to a plate to cool.
   

Steam Oysters

1. Place shucked oysters open side up in a large steamer basket.
2. Place the steamer basket over boiling water and cover with a lid.
3. The boiling water should not touch the oysters.
4. Steam for approximately 5 minutes, depending on the size of your oysters.
5. Prior to removing them from the steam, the oysters should look a little more opaque and feel just set when pressed gently.
6. They don’t need to be cooked through, just warmed.
7. Using tongs, transfer the oysters to a serving tray or plate.
   

Dress

1. Dress with 1/2 tsp ponzu each oyster and top with crisp panko.
2. Garnish with kaffir leaf and serve
