Recipe

Soak clams in a 3% saltwater solution, straining them through a sieve and letting them rest in a dark place for sufficient time.
After soaking, add water to the clams and boil to extract a clear, fresh clam broth.
Finely chop the shallot and gently sauté over low heat until it softens without browning.
Add rice to the sautéed shallot and stir-fry together, lightly coating the grains with oil.
Pour in white wine and simmer until the alcohol aroma dissipates.
Gradually add warm clam broth while continuously stirring for about 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the rice to cook evenly.
Turn off the heat when the rice is just slightly chewy in the center, then mix in finely chopped perilla using residual heat.
Finish by adjusting the consistency to a smooth, flowing texture that gently spreads when plated.

Soak clams in saltwater, then boil to make broth.
Sauté chopped shallot and rice, then add wine and cook off the alcohol.
Gradually add clam broth while stirring, then turn off heat and mix in perilla.

Cooking tips

Always strain clams through a sieve during soaking to prevent them from re-ingesting sand.
When cooking risotto, keep stirring constantly to avoid burning and ensure proper starch release for ideal consistency.
Perilla is sensitive to heat and loses its aroma quickly, so always add it after turning off the heat and use residual heat to infuse flavor.
