Step 1
Pat oysters dry with paper towels. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Stir cornstarch, water, and soy sauce together until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in eggs and let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds until the bottom firms, then gently push cooked edges inward.
Step 5
Scatter oysters over the partially set egg and cook 1 more minute, tilting to let wet egg run to the edges.
Step 6
Fold omelette in half. Slide onto a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Step 7
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the same skillet over medium. Pour in the cornstarch mixture and stir constantly until thickened, ~2 minutes.
Step 8
Pour the glaze over the omelette. Serve immediately.
