Clam meat is delicious, nutritious, deeply loved by people, usually everyone also likes to buy some clams to go home and fry to eat, friends and I said, she fried clams not only have sand, but also have a fishy taste, how to do not eat, after asking clearly, I know that her cleaning method is wrong. Today I taught you the way coastal friends taught me to clean clams, simple and easy to operate, so that you can easily make sand-free and delicious fried clams!
When buying clams, pay attention to distinguishing between sand shells and flower shells, they look very similar, but the actual taste and texture are still different.
The clam shell on the left is relatively thick, the shape and pattern are irregular, this is the sand clam (sand shell), although the meat of the sand clam is relatively thick, but the meat is softer, the sand is also more, and the cleaning is not clean very much affects the taste.
The picture on the right has a beautiful regular pattern, a thin shell shape, and a clear pattern is the flower shell, also known as the oil clam, ba fei clam, the flower shell sand is less, the meat is crisp and tender, whether it is the taste or taste to be better than the sand nail.
Brine soaking method
Generally in the seafood market flower nails have been raised for a period of time, when buying flower nails, you can let the boss fill some salt water for raising flower nails, first soak in salty water for 30 minutes after going home, and then pour the water out, clean it, refill some water, put salt into it and soak it for 30 minutes.
Friends along the coast told me that if you adjust the salt water yourself, the layman does not understand the ratio of sea salt and water, and it will not take long to raise it, so it cannot be soaked in salt water for more than 6 hours, let alone overnight.
Sesame oil method
The second method is to add sesame oil, the soaked water must be cold water, add a little salt and a little sesame oil to stir, sesame oil floats on the surface of the water, isolating the air in the water, the flower shell will open its mouth to breathe and spit sand, and the flower shell will spit sand after rinsing it with clean water.
The time of sesame oil soaking method is controlled at half an hour and an hour, remember not to soak for too long. The flower nails purchased in supermarkets or seafood markets have generally vomited most of the sand, and they don't have to soak for so long when they go home.
Shake method
The last one is the shaking method, put the flower nails in a large bowl, put in some salt water, buckle a plate and shake them continuously, with appropriate force, not too hard, to avoid crushing the flower nails. After about 1 minute, wash it, add water and shake it 1 to 2 times or so to clean up the beetle sediment.
Many people like to boil the water before frying the flower nails, the flower nails are boiled to the opening after cleaning and then frying, the umami taste will weaken after the flower nails are over the water, so I don't have to blanch the water method, generally blanched water, then directly fished up and dipped in sauce to eat. The following is a simple and delicious fried flower nail, like it to collect it.
Ingredients: flower nails, soybean paste, starch, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, chives, ginger
1. Follow the method introduced above and let the flower nail spit clean sand.
2: 1 teaspoon starch plus 1 spoonful of light soy sauce, 1 spoonful of soybean paste, a little sugar, half a bowl of water to make a sauce and set aside.
