Korean Steamed Clams Appetizer
This is fun to do on a picnic especially if you can dig the clams right there. Make the sauce at home and bring it along. You can put the sauce on them a few hours ahead of time if you are serving them at home and keep them in the fridge if you plan to serve them cold - i like them at room temperature
Steps
Discard any clams that do not close when you give them a good rap scrub them twinkly clean.
In a large pot bring 1 cup of salted water to a boil and drop in the clams , cover and steam for 6 minutes or until the clams open meanwhile whisk together the remaining ingredients.
Remove clams and drain.
Remove 1 part of the shell so the clams are sitting in a half shell , loosen the clam with a twist of a knife pour a little of the sauce onto each clam.
Serve hot or cold.
