Recipe Summary Steamed Clams In Butter And Sake

This recipe is the best for seafood lovers. Clams are steamed with sake and mirin and a bit of green onion in this Japanese way of preparation. My husband likes it so much.

Ingredients | Mirin Or Sake

4 teaspoons sake

4 teaspoons mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

2 teaspoons rice vinegar

1 ¼ pounds clams in shell, scrubbed

3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon soy sauce

1 green onion, chopped

Directions

Scrub and rinse clams. Soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat. Quickly pour in the sake, mirin and rice vinegar. Add the clams; cover and cook until the clams open, 3 to 4 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.

Remove any scum that forms on the surface using a spoon or paper towel. Stir in the butter, soy sauce and green onion, tossing to coat the clams as the butter melts. Arrange clams on a serving plate and drizzle the sauce over them. Serve immediately.
