Home-style Steamed Clams with Ginger and Garlic Method
Truly, we should thank the rapid development of logistics for allowing us to enjoy fresh seafood in Northeast China.That day at the market, I saw such large clams right away. Recalling my time in Weihai, such large ones were rarely seen then.The best way to cook seafood is steaming it. It can truly bring out the freshness of the seafood! So I simply used ginger and garlic for this steaming.A small amount of plant oil was added with minced ginger and garlic. 2: Placed in a microwave on high for about 2 minutes until the ginger and garlic turned slightly yellow and fragrant, or fried them in a pan if not using a microwave for simplicity's sake!3: A little cooking wine was poured over the cleaned clams to remove any fishy smell. 4: The ginger and garlic oil was then spread on the clams; those who like spicy food can add some diced red pepper.5: Steam for 5 minutes until done, not too long or they will become tough!
6: Drizzle with seafood soy sauce before serving. Enjoy it hot!
Materials: one catty of clams, about 10 grams of ginger, one garlic head
Seasonings: an appropriate amount of plant oil, an appropriate amount of seafood soy sauce, an appropriate amount of cooking wine
Method to steam clams with ginger and garlic
1: Clean the clams well, remove the sand sacs and black threads, sorry for no pictures. Grate the ginger and garlic, pour enough oil to cover the grated ingredients.
2: Put in microwave oven on high power for about 2 minutes until the ginger and garlic turn slightly yellow and fragrant. Alternatively, heat the oil in a pan and slowly fry the ginger and garlic, we are just trying for an easy method here!
3: Pour a little cooking wine on the cleaned clams to remove the fishy smell; don't use too much.
4: Place the ginger and garlic oil over the prepared clams. Add some diced red chili pepper if you like a bit of spiciness.
5: Steam for 5 minutes until the water boils, then take out immediately as seafood cooks quickly and should not be overcooked.
6: Pour the seafood soy sauce just before serving! Enjoy while hot!
