We here are generally ten dollars four pounds, usually 4 dollars can fry a plate, especially fresh!
Want to pick fresh clams, picking must pay attention to, I usually go to the seafood store or supermarket to buy, rarely in the roadside stalls to buy, because seafood stores and supermarkets of the clams, usually with sea salt water immersion, and the constant supply of oxygen, through the creation of a seawater environment to ensure that the clams are fresh. In addition, when selecting, try to choose the mouth is open for air, the whole body stretching clams, such clams are more fresh, spit sand is also clean, do not choose to completely open the shell, such clams have died, eating will have a fishy smell, and it is best to choose a head of some of the larger clams, large clams meat is more fertile!
To finish choosing clams, let's talk about doing clams, clams are the most delicious and delicious practice is to eat fried, fried clams seem simple, but there are skills, there are a lot of friends fried clams dry, a little bit of not tender, but also very fishy, there is sand, it is fried without paying attention to the small details to note, you can also fry juicy fresh clams:
Steamed clams, the most taboo! Directly under the pan fried, teach you the correct way, out of the pan juicy, not fishy!
1. buy back the clams first into the pot, add the right amount of water not over the clams can be, and then add a spoonful of salt and a little sesame oil, cover the lid, do not disturb it, let it quietly spit a little sand. By the way, the temperature of the water is very important, preferably about 20 degrees, small clams in this environment will be very happy to spit sand it!
About 40 minutes of soaking, we pick up the pot, cover the lid tightly, up and down, left and right shaking, do not be too hard, otherwise the little clams are very easy to pass out, oh, pass out the little clams will not spit sand, and if the force is too much, the clam shell will be crushed, eating will be pierced the mouth. After spitting sand clean clams and then rinse a few more times, control the water and standby.
2. Add a little oil in the pot, oil temperature 5 into the heat, put ginger and scallions, sautéed, and then poured into the clams, about stir-fry 20 or so, cover the lid of the pot to simmer for 30 seconds, and then open the lid of the pot to add a little salt to adjust the bottom flavor, you will see the clams began to open their mouths, stir-fry a few times, will be the salt stir-fry evenly covered with a pot to simmer for 40 seconds, the time has come to open the lid of the pot, the clams! All open mouth, and there is a layer of white juice at the bottom of the pot, this time the clams are the most tender, and also fully cooked, nutritious and beautiful clams are ready!
Small tips:
1. fried clams, do not directly under the pot to fry, and do not blanch before frying, this is because directly under the pot to fry, sand will be a lot, and very fishy. And blanching before frying, although it will remove part of the sand, but the nutrition and fresh flavor will also be lost, fried clams will not be fresh!
2. The clams themselves are extremely fresh, fried, do not add too much seasoning, especially do not add monosodium glutamate (MSG), salt should be as little as possible, so as not to lose the freshness of the anti-loss!
3. Fried clams, time is very important, time is too short, the clams are not cooked through, eat the body is not good. Too long, the clam meat will become old, dry and hard to bite!
The clams are not only tasty, but also very high in calcium and iron content, spring is the golden period of the child's growth, meet don't miss, do eat to the children, calcium bones stronger!
