Oysters with Finger Lime and Ginger Mignonette

In place of vinegar, finger limes give this mignonette its zing (pulp from regular limes works just as well).

Recipe information

Ingredients

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice bran oil
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger

1 finger lime, halved lengthwise, or 1/2 lime, white pith and peel removed, finely chopped
12 oysters, freshly shucked
