Clams are one of the most popular delicacies in my family. First of all, they are affordable. I bought them in the supermarket at a special price of 4 yuan per catty. When I bought them at the market, they cost 6 yuan per catty. And clams They are all fresh, with white and tender meat. As soon as they touch the water, many clams will spurt out water jets.

Secondly, the price is very simple, unlike making fish or processing lobster. When you buy clams at home, you just soak them until they spit out the sand, and then boil, stir-fry or bake them. It takes only a short time and tastes delicious. They are a great dish to go with wine.

Clams are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Here are some delicious home-cooked recipes:

1. Cook 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.

Need to prepare: 500 grams of clams, appropriate amount of green onion and ginger slices; 3 chives; 3 cloves of garlic; 4 millet peppers; 3 tablespoons of rice wine; 1 teaspoon of cooking oil; appropriate amount of salt

Method:

1. Soak the clams in salt water for 1 hour to make them spit out sand, 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 chopped 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.

To put it simply, eating loofah can provide good relief from common summer conditions such as feeling upset and irritated, and having body heat and phlegm.
