Cooking tips
- Placing clams on a colander during desalting ensures that expelled debris sinks below and doesn't re-enter the clams.
- The iron in the metal spoon reacts with the saltwater, stimulating clams to expel impurities more effectively.
- Add water dropwort at the final stage and steam just briefly with the lid on to preserve its crisp texture and fresh aroma.
Recommended for
- Those who want to quickly make a Japanese-style pub-style broth appetizer at home.
- Anyone seeking a clean, flawless method for desalting shellfish without any gritty texture.
