Note
Use fresh oysters if available for best flavor; canned or jarred oysters can be substituted but pat dry thoroughly before frying.
Beef rib eye can be substituted with sirloin or flank steak, sliced as thinly as possible for quick cooking.
Daikon radish adds a mild sweetness; if unavailable, substitute with turnip or additional carrots.
For a richer broth, use beef broth instead of vegetable broth.
Serve in a hot pot at the table to keep warm, or transfer to individual bowls immediately.
