Short description
This oyster-and-egg pancake has crisp edges, a soft center, and briny bites.
Ingredients
Oysters cooked with egg, starch batter, scallions or greens, oil, and a savory-sweet sauce.
Cultural note
Associated with coastal snack stalls, it reflects a street-food style built around fresh shellfish.
Common misconception
It is not just a Western-style omelet; starch batter gives it a chewy, glossy texture.
