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.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to taste a premium, nutritious dish infused with the deep, refreshing, and rich umami of fresh seasonal clams, instead of a harsh, salty dipping sauce.
  • Those preparing an impressive-looking, high-class dish with a rich clam flavor for special occasions like housewarmings, holidays, or parents' birthdays to entertain loved ones.
