How to make Fried Oyster Cake
She’s got it all worked out! Talented Share Food home cook brings to the table a delicious, healthier version of our favourite Fried Oyster Cake. We recommend using Coconut Oil as your source of oil when deep frying because it makes it healthier than other oils. Studies have shown that even after deep frying for 8 hours, coconut oil has the capabilities of maintaining its quality. Perfect temperature for deep frying? That’s 180ºC.

Cooking Directions 烹煮过程
Step 1: Prepare the filling （准备馅料）
Attach the meat grinder attachment to Chef Sense, mince the meat and prawn. Marinate it with sugar, salt, pepper and cornflour. （用绞肉机将五花肉和虾绞碎。倒入糖，盐，胡椒粉和蜀粉，搅拌均匀。）
Mix in bean sprouts and spring onion. Transfer the bowl into the chiller. （加入豆芽和青葱。用保鲜膜把碗包着，放入冰箱。）
Step 2: Prepare the flour （准备面糊）
Attach the glass blender to Chef Sense, add in soaked soy bean with 2 cups of water. Blend till smooth. （将浸泡好的黄豆和2杯水倒入璃搅拌机里。搅拌直到糊状。）
In the mixing bowl, add in flour, rice flour, baking powder, and soy bean paste. Attach K-beater, mix well. Add in water if the consistency is too dry. （在混合碗里，倒入面粉，粘面粉，烘焙粉和黄豆糊。装上K-打附件，拌匀。慢慢的倒入水，直到达到对的致性。）
Step 3: Start frying （开始炸）
Heat up the pan with 5 cups of hot coconut oil, dip the metal soup ladle into the oil until it bubbles on the ladle.（热椰子油。 将勺子浸泡在热油中，直到勺子边有油泡。）
Scoop 3 tbsp of batter into a ladle, add in 1 tbsp of marinated meat, 1 oyster and top it up with another 3 tbsp of batter to cover the filling. Lay some peanut and ikan bilis on top and fry it in the hot oil. (将3汤匙的面糊倒入热勺子里，添加1汤匙肉馅，1个生蚝，再填上3汤匙的面糊。撒上花生和江鱼仔，让后放入油锅里炸。)
Fry until golden brown, the oyster cake will fall off from the ladle. Let it fry for another 1 minute, till it is fully cooked. （一旦炸到金黄色，蚝饼将从勺子滑出。炸多1分中，就能捞起。）
Let cool and ready to eat! （放凉后，即可享用！）
