This is my mother's recipe. We can dig clams nearby, so whenever we went clam digging when I was a child, I used to ask her to make these sake-steamed clams for us.

Some clams are very salty, so taste before adding the soy sauce. It's best to de-sand the clams in a wide, shallow container so that the clams are in a single layer. If you don't have a container like that though, a bowl is fine. Recipe by Rikopin mama

Ingredients

  1. 200to 300 grams Manila clams
  2. 1 cloveGarlic, chopped finely
  3. 1 tbspVegetable oil
  4. 100 mlSake
  5. 1/2to 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
  6. 1/3 bunchGreen onions (or 10 cm of Japanee leek)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the oil and chopped garlic in a frying pan, and saute over low heat. When the oil is fragrant, add the scrubbed and de-sanded clams, and saute over high heat.

  2. 2

    Add the sake, cover with a lid and let them steam (about 2 minutes). When the clams open up, add the soy sauce and chopped green onions, mix it all up and it's done.

  3. 3

    How to de-sand the clams...Put the clams in salted water (1 teaspoon of salt to every 200 ml of water) and leave in a dark place covered with newspaper, until they've spit out the sand inside them.

  4. 4

    For clams you've dug yourself, allow 3 to 4 hours; for clams you bought at the supermarket, allow about an hour. Wash the clams under running water, rubbing the shells together. Drain in a colander.
