AuthorBiteSizedOyster Sisig is a creative and indulgent take on the beloved Filipino sisig, replacing the usual pork with crispy, beer-battered oysters for a unique seafood twist. This dish delivers a perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and zesty flavors, making it an irresistible appetizer or pulutan for gatherings.
To start, fresh oysters are cleaned and lightly dredged in seasoned flour, ensuring they develop a flavorful crust. They are then coated in a crisp batter made from beer, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and a blend of spices, giving them a light yet crunchy texture. Deep-fried to golden perfection, these crispy oysters provide a delightful contrast to the rich and creamy sisig sauce.
The heart of this dish lies in its sisig sauce, a bold and tangy mixture of minced red onions, red chili, spring onions, mayonnaise, calamansi juice, and Knorr liquid seasoning. This combination enhances the fried oysters with a burst of umami and citrusy brightness, elevating their natural briny sweetness. Once the oysters are mixed into the sauce, the dish is garnished with additional spring onions, crispy fried garlic, and a fresh calamansi wedge for extra zing.
For the final touch, a raw egg is cracked on top, allowing it to cook gently from the heat of the sizzling platter, creating a luscious, velvety finish that ties all the flavors together. The result is a mouthwatering dish that’s crunchy, creamy, savory, and slightly spicy—perfect with an ice-cold drink or a warm plate of rice. Whether enjoyed as a bar snack or a main course, Oyster Sisig is a must-try for seafood lovers looking for a new twist on a Filipino classic.
