How to process geoduck

Required raw materials: geoduck

Processing method:

1. From a certain perspective The life characteristics of geoducks after leaving sea water are not very obvious. When we buy geoducks at the seafood market, when selecting them, we only have to see whether the two shells can be tightly closed. It must be stale. Furthermore, if it is a live geoduck, the body of the clam will shrink significantly when you gently touch it with your hand.

2. Place the geoduck on the chopping board and remove two clam shells with a knife. When peeling the shells, first lift one side of the knife and hold the other half with your hands. If you are afraid of slipping, you can hold it with a wet towel.

3. When picking the shells, the knife should be close to the shell to avoid damaging the meat.

4. After separating the clams and meat, wash them separately with clean water.

5. Boil water in the pot. When the water temperature is about 80 degrees, put the clam meat into the pot for about 10 seconds. Slightly blanch the clam meat and quickly take it out. At this time you will find , there will be a layer of silk stocking-like membrane on the body of the clam, that is, the "elephant trunk" part, which has been somewhat separated from the clam body. At this time, you have to start from the bottom of the clam body, that is, from the top of the "elephant trunk" Peel off this film little by little from the root to the tip of the "elephant trunk". The film that is peeled off will be very complete. If you tie one end and fill it with water, this film can even be used as a water storage bag.

6. Throw away the removed film. At this time, use a knife to gently separate the clam body and clam gallbladder. The outside of the clam body, where the membrane was just torn off, can be gently wiped with a steel ball used for dishwashing. During the wiping process, some yellow and dirt will be removed. At this time, use clean water to clean the geoduck clam. Rinse and it'll be clean.

7. Now, place the cleaned geoduck on the chopping board with the front side facing up. The so-called front side means that in addition to the body of the clam, there is a deep and thin hook in the area where the gall was removed. , the thin hook points upward, which is the front.

8. Now we use a knife to cut the clam body along the thin hook, remember not to cut it off.

9. At this point, the geoduck is processed. We can make sashimi or stir-fry with the clam body, and we can make porridge with the clam gallbladder.
