-oysters
=== PICKLED GINGER SALSA ===
1/4 c Peeled and diced jicama
1/2 c Peeled; seeded, diced
-cucumber
1/2 c Finely diced red onion
3 tb Chopped; pickled ginger
1 tb Seasoned rice wine vinegar
1 ts Fresh lemon juice

-cilantro
1 ts Toasted sesame seeds
1/4 ts Sugar
Kosher salt; to taste
Freshly ground black pepper;
-to taste

In a medium mixing bowl, combine all salsa ingredients. Cover and
refrigerate. This salsa is best used the day it was made, as it tends to
loose its crisp character over time. To serve: Shuck each oyster by
carefully inserting the point of an oyster knife between the shells and
twisting; dont lose the juices. Free the oysters from the bottom shell by
gently sliding a knife underneath it. Top with a teaspoon of the pickled
ginger salsa. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
