Oyster Saute With Green Onion Sauce

Submitted by kcocoangela

"Oyster cooked with butter and soy sauce is standard dish over here in Japan. I upgrade everyone's favorite recipe with garlic and green onion and it goes just fine! Washing oysters with starch to purify the taste is a method I learned from Chinese recipe while traditionalist Japanese chefs use graded Daikon radish juice."
