- Add 1 cup of water and a pinch of salt (or seafood stock), cover the pan, and simmer until clams open their shells.

Cooking tips 💡
- Covering clams with a black bag during soaking mimics their natural muddy environment, encouraging them to expel more impurities.
- White wine can be substituted with soju or cheongju, but using white wine adds a distinctive aromatic depth, giving the dish a more refined taste.
