2 head garlic minced
oil same amount as the minced garlic
2 tbsp soy sauce we recommend using the "steamed fish" soy sauce of the "Lee Kim Kee" brand
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar

We start by making the garlic sauce. Peel and chop two heads of garlic. Rinse the minced garlic, and drain out the water. Dry them out in a paper towel so will be safe to fry them.
We will be using the same amount of oil as the garlic for the sauce, a 1-to-1 ratio. Heat up a pan at low heat and add the oil. Add only half of the garlic in first, and maintain the pan at low heat for the entire time. Let it slowly cook for about 3 minutes.
While the garlic is heating up in the oil, you can chop some chili peppers and scallion for later use. Add the other half in for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the chili peppers. Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce,1 tbsp of oyster sauce, and 1 tsp of sugar, and mix everything well. Voila, that’s the garlic sauce, it smells so good!

Before dealing with the oysters, you can start to light up the charcoal.
Rinse oysters several times to remove the dirt outside. Shuck open the oysters. When your charcoal is hot, place the oysters on the grill. Cover the lid and let it preheat for about 1 minute.
Add a spoonful of the garlic sauce to each oyster. It gonna have some flame so be careful not to burn yourself! Also because of this fierce flaming, it will make the oyster so tasty.
When the oyster edge is a little bit burned, add some scallion and remove it from the grill. Enjoy!
