Spicy Fried Razor Clam

1. There is a lot of sand in the belly of razor clams. If you don't handle it well, you can't eat it at all! So the first step must be to remove the sand? How to get to the sand? The most important certain word: bubble! ——The picture below is more intuitive. First of all, you must buy live razor clams, and you must throw away the dead. After buying it, pour it into a sieve and rinse the shell with cold water with a faucet. This is the first step to remove the sand; then use a large basin to catch some cold water, sprinkle a little salt (there is a slight salty taste), and place the razor clams. Go in and soak for a few hours; change the water 2-3 times halfway, remember to change to brackish water! After soaking, take it out, continue to put cold water with a faucet, and wash it away with a large stream of water.

2. Next, boil a pot of boiling water. After the water boils, blanch the razor clams that have been sanded for about three minutes, then remove them with a scoop and drain the water for later use. Some attentive friends will remove the black thread of the razor clams after blanching (note the picture 2 below). This is also correct. This black thread is actually the "sandbag" of the razor clams. Sand is more thorough.

3. Frying razor clams is very simple, just look at the flow chart. Heat the pot first, then turn to low heat and pour the oil. Stir in the fragrant ginger, garlic, dried chili and peppercorns in sequence. When these small ingredients emit a strong fragrance, pour the razor clams in, turn it to high heat and quickly stir-fry (pictured below) 3);

4. Then add a little cooking wine to cook the smell, and then quickly add the dark soy sauce and sugar. Repeatedly wok or stir-fry, in short, it is one word: fast! Stir-fry the seasoning for about two or three minutes, then you can sprinkle the coriander into the pot!

Tips:
Speaking of it, this kind of small seafood must be eaten fresh. In addition to steaming with garlic or grilling on iron plate, the most common cooking method is "stir-fry" or "spicy stir-fry". I don’t know if you still remember the recipe of Chao Dad’s fried sixtieth birthday last year, but the method is similar.
