How to cook boiled clams

People die for money and birds die for food. Although this saying has some truth to it, it is not entirely true in today's society, because many people die because of "food". Many people get sick and die because of unhealthy eating. In order to avoid dying in such a miserable way, follow me to learn how to make boiled clams.

1.1 Because clams are cool in nature, you can add some green onions and ginger to remove the cold when cooking. If you want to eat the original flavor, it’s best not to add any other ingredients!

2.2 If the clams are just out of the sea, there will be a lot of mud and sand. If you buy them in the morning, you need to add clean water and some salt to let them spit out the mud and sand before cooking them, otherwise they will be very unpalatable. We usually buy the ones that have already had the mud and sand spitted out in the afternoon, and then we come back to wash them with clean water and we can start cooking.

3. Cool the pot and put the green onion and ginger at the bottom of the pot. If you put it on top of the clams, it will have no effect.

4. Put the washed clams into the pot with green onions and ginger and turn on the heat. Although the clams are boiled, you must not add water at this time, because the clams themselves will release a lot of water when cooking. It is also not suitable to add salt or other seasonings. Seafood itself has a certain saltiness.

5. After five minutes of high heat, a lot of water will come out of the pot. After the water boils, you can turn off the heat and take the clams out of the pot as long as the clams in the pot open their mouths. The cooking time is basically only five minutes. If you cook them too long, the clams will be very tough and no longer fresh and tender.

6.These are the finished clams. If you like the original flavor, you can just drink it. The restaurants here usually serve it with a kind of hot sauce or horseradish mixed with aged vinegar for dipping. I personally still like this kind of delicious and authentic clams.

Have you been eating only the food cooked by your mother since you were a child? Do you feel that you have not fulfilled your filial duties? It doesn’t matter. After seeing how to make boiled clams, you can now go to the kitchen, study it, and then make the best dish to honor them.
