1. Prepare the ingredients

Onions, ginger, peanut oil, cooking wine, and fresh clams.

2. Steps

1. When buying clams, choose those that spray water from their mouths, as they are fresh. Do not buy clams that have been opened or have broken shells, as these clams are dead. After buying clams, soak them in clean water for about an hour to allow the clams to open their mouths freely and spit out the sand.

2. Pour oil into the wok, and when ripples appear on the oil surface and just begin to smoke, add the scallions and ginger, stir-fry for a while, then add the clams and continue to stir-fry for a while. At this time, you need to turn up the heat so that the stir-fry will taste better.

3. After stir-frying for a while, you can add a small amount of cooking wine. Be especially careful not to add any salt, because clams grow in salt water and are inherently salty. There is no need to add water, because when the clams open their mouths, they will spit out water (this is why they need to be soaked to spit out the sand, otherwise it will be unpleasant to eat).

4. When stir-frying enters the final stage, do not stir too frequently, and stir-fry over high heat for a while. Wait until most of the clams have opened their mouths, then drizzle a little hot oil on them and they are ready to be served. Don't wait until every clam opens its mouth, because by then they will be overcooked and no longer tasty.
