Kim Dae-seok's Soju-Steamed Clams

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Do not overcook the clams, as they become tough and shrink in size. The key is to keep cooking time under 2 minutes after covering the pan.
• Sautéing cherry tomatoes with the other ingredients helps balance the richness of butter and draws out natural umami into the broth, resulting in a much more refined flavor.
• You can substitute soju with white wine or soju-like rice wine for equally excellent results.
