Sautéed spinach and oysters with salt koji butter

【How to make】
① Cut the spinach into 4cm lengths.
② Finely chop the garlic.
③ Place the oysters in a bowl, add the potato starch (not included in the recipe), and gently rub together. Rinse with water to remove dirt, then wipe off the water thoroughly with kitchen paper.
④ Add olive oil and ② to a frying pan, and when the aroma comes out, add butter and turn the heat to medium. Add ③ and lightly fry both sides, sprinkle with sake, cover and steam. When the oysters plump up, remove them.
⑤ Add salt koji to the frying pan in ④ and mix, add ① in the order of stems and leaves and fry, return the oysters to the frying pan, toss quickly, season with salt and pepper, and serve on a plate.

【Points】
Oysters will shrink if cooked too long, so cook quickly. The flavors of salt koji and butter bring out the flavor of the oysters and spinach in this dish.
