Baek Jong-won's Makgeolli Clam Stir-fry

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• To prevent shells from cracking, keep the pan covered until clams open—this steams them gently using trapped moisture.
• Substitute makgeolli with soju or white wine for a cleaner, more refreshing traditional clam stew.
• For maximum flavor, use real butter rather than margarine or processed butter.
• Avoid using pre-minced garlic as it burns easily; always use whole garlic, coarsely chopped, to preserve the full garlic oil aroma.
