🙋 Recommended for
- ⭐ Those who want a light, chewy, and unique seafood health dish instead of the usual eel or samgyetang
- ⭐ Those who want to make a high-end appetizer with minimal effort, like from a Japanese restaurant
Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 10-15 yellow surf clams
- a handful of cilantro roots
- 1 pack of enoki mushrooms
- 3 tbsp store-bought chogochujang
- 1 tbsp horseradish sauce
- a little scallions
Recipe 🍳
- Using scissors or a knife, cut the yellow surf clams in half lengthwise and clean out the internal organs and sand under running water.
- Fill a steamer with water and bring to a boil. Once steam rises, spread out the washed cilantro roots and enoki mushrooms with the stems removed.
- Place the prepared clams evenly on top of the vegetables without overlapping.
- Cover the steamer and steam over high heat for about 5 minutes until moist and tender.
- In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp of store-bought chogochujang and 1 tbsp of horseradish sauce until well combined.
- Lightly sprinkle chopped scallions over the finished sauce for extra aroma.
- Serve the steamed clams and vegetables on a bamboo steamer or plate that allows drainage, accompanied by the special sauce.
- Cut clams in half, remove innards, and rinse under water.
- Line steamer with cilantro roots and enoki mushrooms, place clams on top, and steam for 5 minutes.
- Mix chogochujang, horseradish sauce, and chopped scallions to make the sauce.
- Arrange steamed clams and vegetables on a plate and serve with the sauce.
Cooking tips 💡
- Do not steam clams for more than 5 minutes, as they become tough; a short steam keeps them tender and bouncy.
- To prevent moisture from pooling under the clams when serving, use a perforated plate or basket to maintain the best texture.
