For oysters:
- Preheat oven to high broil. Use an oyster knife to remove top of the oyster. The top is flat, not cup-shaped. Place oysters on a sheet tray or small pan lined with salt, and top each with 1 tablespoon of XO-Egg sauce. Broil on high for 4 minutes or until brown.
- Remove from oven and garnish each with scallion and dash of Korean powder. Sprinkle coarse salt over serving plate to stabilize oyster shells, if desired.
For XO-egg sauce:
- Blend first four ingredients in a blender. Slowly add oil and egg yolks.
For XO sauce:
- Put each ingredient into food processor separately, and process until very fine.
- Place all processed ingredients in a pan and cook over low heat, until browned.
