Ttukdak Hyung's Clam Pot Rice

Cooking tips 💡

• Clams generally have few impurities, but soaking them in saltwater for at least 30 minutes, covered with a black bag, is the surest way to prevent gritty sand from ruining your dish.
• The milky broth released from the clams is a natural umami seasoning, so do not discard it. Use it as the cooking liquid for the rice to infuse every grain with deep flavor.
• The most crucial step in cooking pot rice is the 10-minute steaming period after turning off the heat. Opening the lid prematurely can cause the rice to become unevenly cooked or undercooked, so patience is key.
