2. Heat half the oil and fry the oysters until lightly browned on both sides then remove them from the pan and drain off the fat.

3. Heat the remaining oil and fry the onions until softened. Mix the corn-flour, soy sauce and stock to a paste, pour into the pan and simmer, stirring, until the sauce clears and thickens. Pour over the oysters and serve at once.
