Cooking tips

  • Since the clam meat has already been used for broth and lost much of its saltiness and moisture, it should be thoroughly cooked down with the sauce to achieve the perfect seasoning.
  • You can add thinly sliced, blanched root vegetables like jicama or potato to make a delightful mixed stew side dish.
  • The seaweed and sesame salt help absorb residual moisture from the clams, preventing spoilage and enhancing umami richness.

Recommended for

  • Those who don’t want to waste leftover clam meat after making broth and want to turn it into a tasty rice side dish.
  • People looking to quickly prepare a salty, appetite-awakening side dish or a clean, satisfying sake snack in just 10 minutes.
