How to make steamed egg with clams

Clams are a very good dish to go with wine for friends who like to drink. From a nutritional point of view, clams contain a large amount of nutrients, so eating some clams properly will be beneficial to the body. Clams are usually eaten directly by boiling them in water, but some people like to eat them in a more alternative way. So, how to make steamed clam eggs?

Materials

18 clams 3 eggs (about 100g) 200g warm water Salt to taste 1 tsp oil 1 tsp soy sauce 5ml cooking wine

Steps

1. Wash the clams

2. Put water, a spoonful of salt, onion, ginger and cooking wine in the pot and bring to a boil. Add the cleaned clams and turn off the heat again. Clams open their mouths

3. Filter out the water and take out the clams for later use

4. Take a deep plate and place the clams on it with the opening facing upwards. I used the 11 I needed and minced the rest and added them to the clams.

5. Add salt, oil, soy sauce and cooking wine to the eggs and beat evenly.

6. Add twice the amount of warm water as the egg liquid. Whisk evenly

7. Filter the egg liquid into a plate and put a little green onion on the surface. Sew on plastic wrap. Steam in a steamer for 18 minutes

8. When serving, you can also add a little fresh soy sauce.

9. Finished product.

Tips

Put the eggs in twice the amount of warm water as the eggs. If you like the eggs to be more tender, you can add 2.5 times the amount of warm water. My three free-range eggs weigh about 100 grams each, and I added 200 grams of water. The plate should be slightly deeper and larger. This will allow the clams to protrude a little more above the egg liquid, making the finished product look better. My dish was deep enough but a little small, so the clams didn't show enough and the finished product wasn't as pretty.
