General:

Because the meat of the clam is from its axe, which is smooth muscle, the meat is relatively thin, but it will be stronger if cooked directly. Other screw shells like gastropods, such as the adductor muscle next to the belt, fall into this category.

Since the texture of this type of meat is quite different from that of tofu, it is recommended that clam meat needs to be processed in advance.

Generally, it is more appropriate to use a pressure cooker with ginger, scallion, cooking wine, etc.

If you don’t have a pressure cooker, try to slice it into large pieces, and then marinate it with edible alkali for 15 minutes. Be careful not to add too much edible alkali, or marinate it with meat tenderizer. Remember to rinse with water after marinating to avoid eating it. Alkali remains.

Then you can make a paste, either using cornstarch or egg white.

How to make it depends on what flavor you like to eat. Here I will introduce you to a green onion flavor.

Ingredients: clam meat, sliced ??ginger and scallion, tofu (old or tender), lard and salad oil, appropriate amount of seasonings.

Preparation method:

1. Prepare the mussel meat as above and make it mature 8-9 times.

2. Blanch old tofu in boiling water. It is best to fry soft tofu such as boxed lactone tofu. If it is too late to fry, at least salt it in boiling water.

Or cut the tofu into cubes and drain the water first, pat it into cornstarch and fry it before taking it out.

3. Add lard and a little salad oil to the pot, sauté the ginger and scallions until fragrant, add fresh soup (the soup used to process clam meat), add tofu, add refined salt and MSG, a little scallion oil, medium After the fire boils, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes, then add the processed clam meat and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Notes: 1. Don’t use too much soup. Finally, add some gravy depending on the situation.

2. The tofu seasoning must be put in first, otherwise it will not taste. As the saying goes, "Thousands of rolls of tofu are worth thousands of rolls of fish." Tofu must be stewed to gain flavor.

3. You can add sauces. For example, starting from the third step of the preparation method, you can stir-fry your favorite sauces, such as Pixian bean paste, black bean paste, golden vegetable ground lean meat sauce or Hu Yumei hot sauce. . . It will be all right.
