Clams are a delicacy that many people like to eat. The meat is delicious, the price is affordable, and it is very simple to make. I often buy a big pot full of it for 10 yuan, which can be fried deliciously on a plate.
Here, Hua'er will share with you 3 ways to make clams, which are super simple and practical:
1. Stir-fried clams
You need ingredients Hua 700 grams of clams, minced onion, ginger, garlic, appropriate amount of dried chili, 15 grams of chives, a little minced Pixian bean paste, 1 spoon of tempeh, 10 grams
Cooking wine, sugar, salt, oyster sauce, cooking oil
Method :
1. Put the purchased clams into a basin, add water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, add the clams, and let stand for 1 hour until the clams spit out sand.
2. Heat a pot of water. After the water boils, add the clams. Turn off the heat after about 1/3 of the clams have opened their shells. The remaining temperature will cause the remaining clams to open their shells one after another. Do not Cook it too long or it won't be tender.
3. Prepare the necessary seasonings.
4. Pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the wok, heat it up and sauté the minced onions, ginger and garlic, then add 1 tablespoon of Pixian bean paste and tempeh, stir-fry until the red oil comes out. Then add dried chilies and sauté until fragrant.
5. Put the clams into the pot and stir-fry evenly, add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir-fry over high heat to coat the clams evenly with the sauce. Leave for half a minute, and before serving, sprinkle with chopped chives.
The whole process can be done in less than ten minutes, it is simple, attractive and super fast.
2. Grilled clams
The first time Hua'er tried this was when she was making grilled fish. It happened that her old mother bought clams and they were originally fried. Since I was using the oven, I tried washing the clams and roasting them together. The clams placed next to the grilled fish blended in with the flavor of the grilled fish soup, making them particularly fresh. After this accidental attempt, Hua'er will make a bowl of sauce, which is used to season the clams when roasting. It is especially delicious.
Need to be accurate: 500 grams of clams, chopped chili, 2 tablespoons of garlic, 3 cloves of light soy sauce, a little sesame oil, a little sugar
Method:
1. Clams Soak the spit sand in salt water, wash the surface with a small brush, drain the water, or wipe it with kitchen paper, because the roasted clams will still have some moisture. Place on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper.
2. Chop 2 tablespoons of chili pepper on a chopping board, mince 3 cloves of garlic, and chop an appropriate amount of chives if there are any.
3. Add half a spoonful of light soy sauce, an appropriate amount of water, 1 spoonful of sugar and a little sesame oil to taste.
4. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and bake for 5 minutes. The preheating time should be longer, 8-10 minutes is enough, so that the temperature is close to the set temperature. In this way, the clams can basically open their shells in 5 minutes.
5. Take out the baking pan and add an appropriate amount of sauce. Don't turn off the oven at this time, just continue to maintain the temperature.
6. Put the baking sheet into the oven and continue baking for 5 minutes.
7. This method is really easy. Just throw away the layer of oil paper after eating. It even saves the steps of washing dishes and pots, and the taste is quite good.
3. Boil clams in wine
There are many ways to cook clams, but there is only one intoxicating way - boiling clams in wine.
It sounds quite emotional. The deliciousness of the clams is submerged in the mellow aroma of the rice wine, and the aroma of the wine penetrates into the clam meat. The taste is fresher than stir-frying, which is especially suitable for summer.
Required preparations: 500 grams of clams, scallions, ginger slices, appropriate amount of chives, 3 garlic cloves, 4 millet peppers, 4 rice wine, 3 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil
Method:

1. Soak the clams in salt water for 1 hour to spit out sand, and then brush them clean with a small brush.
2. The most delicious way to cook fresh and plump shellfish is to cook it with wine. White wine, plum wine, wine, and rice wine can all be used to cook it. I used 3 tablespoons of rice wine to cook it, and it has a sweet taste. .
3. Heat the oil in a pan, add 1 tsp of cooking oil, and sauté the green onions, ginger slices and chilies until fragrant.
4. Pour in the clams, stir-fry over high heat, and cook for 2 minutes.
5. Pour in the rice wine, cover and cook for 2 minutes. No need to add salt, because the clams themselves are salty. During this period, the clams will open their shells one after another, and the aroma of the wine will penetrate into them as they evaporate.
Sprinkle with minced chives, and this delicacy is ready. You have to start directly, suck the clam meat, and hook it in with the tip of your tongue. The aroma of wine is rich and gradually becomes a little intoxicating.
