Tips:
After buying the clams, soak them in salt water for about 30 minutes. Try to let the clams spit out the sand and impurities. The clam juice is sweet and delicious. Try not to blanch it before cooking. The cooking time of the whole dish does not need to be too long. If it takes too long, the meat quality of the clams will become old and affect the taste.
