This sand-purging method has over 1000 reports! With easy-to-remember proportions, your clams will relax and spit out tons of sand. ♪
Ingredients
2 servings- Clams300-500g
- Water500cc
- ★Salt1 tbsp
Directions
180 min- 1
Prepare a mesh-bottomed tray. This prevents the expelled sand from being reabsorbed, making cooking smooth.
- 2
Add 500cc of water and 1 tbsp of salt to the tray and mix well, ensuring the salt dissolves completely.
- 3
Rinse the 300-500g of clams lightly, then place them in the tray. Adjust the salt water level so the clams' shells are about half-submerged. Place chopsticks across the tray and cover with newspaper.
- 4
Leave clams purchased at the supermarket for at least 1 hour or more. For clams collected from tidal flats, leave for at least 3 hours or more.
- 5
If the clams have been stored in the refrigerator, extend the purging time accordingly.
Tips
Clams purge sand more effectively when their shells are about half-submerged. Covering with newspaper darkens the area and further improves purging, so definitely try it.
