Rinse the bought razor clam with clear water first. Prepare a basin of clean water, add a proper amount of salt, then put the cleaned razor clam into the basin, add a drop of oil to the water when changing the clean water for the third time, and stir well. Let it stand for about 20 ~ 30 minutes, and you will see that the razor clam begins to spit water desperately.
After the razor clam spits water 1 hour or so, you can add a little vinegar to the water, which can kill halophilic bacteria and make it more hygienic to eat. (After about 2 ~ 3 hours, the sediment in the razor clam will be spit out. ) Take out the razor clam that has vomited all the sediment, rub it with light salt water several times repeatedly, clean the dirty things on the shell, and control the water to dry before cooking.
The method of frying razor clams:
1, early cleaning of razor clam is the most important, which will directly affect the taste. First, we put a catty of fresh razor clam in clean water and soak it in some salt for half an hour. Soak the razor clam in salt water and spit out the sand quickly and cleanly. In this gap, we need to prepare some chopped shallots, ginger and garlic slices and put them together for later use.
After half an hour, we need to put the razor clam into the pot and scald it with warm water. Boil water in the pot, put the razor clam in warm water, and add some cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.
Be sure to use warm water here. If the razor clam is cooked, it will affect the umami flavor. In warm water, the razor clam will gradually open, which can fully remove the sediment inside. After all the clams are opened, take them out and put them in clear water for frying.
3. Cook the oil in the pot. After fully sliding the pan, pour out the hot oil and add the cold oil. At the same time, some lard can be added to enhance the fragrance. Then pour in onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, drain the razor clam, and put it in a pot and stir-fry evenly. At this time, you can pour some beer to remove the fishy smell and increase the fragrance, and then simmer for a while, so that the razor clam can absorb the smell of onion and ginger and evaporate alcohol to remove the fishy smell.
