Cooking tips 💡

  • If using clams that haven't been purged, soak them in salted water (similar to seawater concentration) with a perforated bowl placed inside in a dark place to purge sand.
  • The flavorful broth from the clams is excellent for tossing pasta or adding to ramen for a delicious twist.
  • Do not overcook the clams, as the meat becomes tough; finish as soon as they open.
