Cooking tips

Heating chili oil at too high a temperature for too long will cause its aroma to dissipate, so it's best to lower the heat after preheating before adding the oil.
The clams release their own salty liquid, so there's no need to add extra salt for proper seasoning.
If there's some sauce left, it's great to boil somyeon noodles and mix them in as an extra, or to add rice to the sauce.
