This recipe is the best for seafood lovers. Clams are steamed with sake and mirin and a bit of green onion in this Japanese way of preparation. My husband likes it so much.
Ingredients
- 4 teaspoons sake
- 4 teaspoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 ¼ pounds clams in shell, scrubbed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 green onion, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Scrub and rinse clams. Soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Quickly pour in the sake, mirin and rice vinegar. Add the clams; cover and cook until the clams open, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
Step 3
Remove any scum that forms on the surface using a spoon or paper towel. Stir in the butter, soy sauce and green onion, tossing to coat the clams as the butter melts. Arrange clams on a serving plate and drizzle the sauce over them. Serve immediately.
