How long does it take to steam clams?

I believe that razor clams are an ingredient that most people rarely eat in their daily lives, mainly because the processing of this ingredient is rather troublesome and it is relatively rare in normal times. However, razor clams have high nutritional value and can supplement a lot of trace elements, so we can learn how to cook razor clams. Generally, razor clams can be steamed. It only takes about 7 minutes to steam razor clams, but you need to add other ingredients and steam them together.

3. Steamed clams with ginger and garlic

1. Materials

One pound of razor clams, about 10 grams of ginger, one head of garlic

2. Seasoning

Vegetable oil, seafood soy sauce, cooking wine

3. Method

⑴ Process the clams properly, remove the black lines on the gizzard, etc. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture. Chop the ginger and garlic, and pour in the oil that has been simmered in the ginger and garlic.

⑵Put it in the microwave on high heat for about 2 minutes, and cook until the ginger and garlic are slightly yellow and fragrant. You can also heat the oil in a pan and slowly stir-fry the ginger and garlic. This is not a lazy and simple way to do it, it's as simple as it gets!

⑶ Pour a little cooking wine on the processed clams to remove the fishy smell, but not too much.
