Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • It’s essential to first stir-fry the soybean paste with the onions for 2 full minutes—this reduces the artificial saltiness of store-bought soybean paste and enhances its umami and smoothness.
  • Avoid overcooking the clam meat, as it can become tough and rubbery; add it near the end of cooking along with the water to maintain its ideal chewy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a salty, savory, versatile soybean paste wrap sauce perfect for mixing into lettuce wraps or plain white rice.
  • Home cooks looking for a reliable, long-lasting homemade side dish to simplify weekday meal prep.
  • Anyone wanting to easily recreate a spicy-sweet, umami-rich clam meat wrap sauce at home while preserving the soft, bouncy texture of the clams.
