Those are the viscera of clams, there is no need to remove them. Also, I would like to remind you, do not wash them with water after cooking, as this will reduce or even lose the umami flavor. If there is really a lot of mud, use the ones used to cook clams. Wash. In addition, I will provide you with a recipe. This is a specialty snack in Qingdao (anyway, I know we have it in Qingdao. If it is also available in other places, don’t mind). Clam pimple soup (we read Gala pimple soup here). In fact, the method is the same as ordinary pimple soup. There is no difference in the soup, just put some clam soup and clam meat in it, and it tastes very fresh (I don’t know if you like the fresh taste of clams, there are many mainlanders who are not used to the fresh taste of clams).
