Steamed Sake Flavored Clams
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place clams in a large bowl. Pour in about 1 quart of water and 2 tablespoon of salt. Let them sit for about 1 hour.
- Rinse the clams with running water and wash well. Drain
- Line the bottom of the bamboo steamer basket with cabbage. Place clams on top of the cabbage leaves and coat the clams with sake.
- Place the steamer into the wok (or a pan or a pot that fits the steamer) and observe how deep it sits. Remove the steamer and add water to the wok until the water is just below where the steamer sits.
- Bring the water to a simmer on medium heat, do not let it boil.
- Place the bamboo steamer in the wok with the lid on. Let the warm water cook the clams, for about 5-6 minutes. Open the lid and check occasionally. Clams are done once the shells open.
- Pour soy sauce and sprinkle scallions to serve.
