Cooking tips

  • Adding 1 tablespoon of flour when washing clams helps trap dirt and impurities on the shell due to its absorbent quality, resulting in cleaner clams.
  • Do not add clams directly to boiling water, as this causes the shells to open too quickly and lose their flavorful juices. Lowering the temperature first with cold water and soju is key.
  • Stir clams in only one direction while boiling so that the meat stays attached to one side of the shell, making peeling much easier later.
  • Never rinse boiled clams with cold water, as this preserves their rich, savory, and naturally nutty flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to properly clean and perfectly cook seasonal winter clams.
  • People looking for a delicious rice side dish combining the fragrant aroma of perilla with a salty, savory seasoning sauce.
  • Anyone aiming to successfully make perfectly tender and chewy clam salad without toughness.
