Cooking Steps
Step1:Materials required - clam, balsam pear, ginger, scallio
Step2:I only use 70g for a 250g balsam pear. If I use too much, the taste of balsam pear will drown out the taste of clam. Then cut thin slices. Cut scallion and ginger
Step3:Put the cut balsam pear into the boiling water, add some salt, blanch it and take it out. Drain the water in the cold water for standby. When the balsam pear is blanched, add salt to keep it green
Step4:Pour proper amount of water into the pot. Then pour in the cleaned clams and shredded green onion and ginger. Cover the pot and turn on the fire. Make sure that the clams are cooked in cold water.
Step5:After boiling, the clams in the pot will crack to open their shells. When they are almost ready, turn the small fire and add some salt. Put in the boiled bitter melon and they will be out of the pot. The clams are already cooked. Don't burn for too long. Otherwise, the clam meat will lose its shell and its appearance will be bad.
