Hello everyone, it’s Superpower! Today, I’m bringing you a super simple method for purging frozen clams, ensuring they retain their freshness. Clams are a versatile ingredient used in dishes like Vongole pasta, clam noodle soup, and refreshing clam stews. Have you ever wondered if frozen clams can be purged effectively? Don’t worry! With just a few easy steps, you can enjoy fresh clams right in your own kitchen. Let’s get started revealing the secret to perfectly purged frozen clams!
Main Ingredients- 1.2kg frozen clams (as needed)
- 1-2 Tbsp coarse salt
- Sufficient amount of cold water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the frozen clams you intend to purge. Also, have a bowl large enough to hold the clams ready. If the bowl is too small, the clams might not be fully submerged, hindering the purging process, so opt for a generous size.
Step 2
Place the frozen clams into the prepared bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of coarse salt. Coarse salt helps the clams expel sand and impurities, and it also enhances their unique umami flavor. Let them soak like this for about 1 hour. You can adjust this time depending on the quantity and condition of the clams.
Step 3
After an hour, you’ll notice the water in the bowl has become cloudy. Now, gently rub the clams together as if you’re scrubbing them, while rinsing. This process effectively removes any remaining mud or debris from inside the clams. It’s crucial to rinse them multiple times until the water runs clear.
Step 4
Once you’ve rinsed them thoroughly until the water is clear, your frozen clams are perfectly purged and ready for your delicious cooking! Now, what amazing dish will you create with these fresh clams?
