Cooking StepsHow to cook Three-Delicacy Silky Steamed Egg with Clam, Silverfish and Pork step by step
-
Step 1Scrub the clams with salt several times until the water runs clear. Submerge them in salted water with a drizzle of oil and let sit for 10 minutes to purge any sand.
-
Step 2While the clams purge, mince the pork and marinate with Shaoxing wine and ginger-scallion water. Rinse the silverfish gently.
-
Step 3Boil the clams in a pot of water until some begin to open. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 2 more minutes. Remove the clams and pick out the meat from each one.
-
Step 4Crack 4 eggs into a measuring cup, add clam broth to bring the total weight to 300 g. Whisk with a whisk until foamy on the surface, skim off the foam, and set aside.
-
Step 5Place the minced pork, silverfish, and clam meat in a steaming dish. Slowly pour in the egg mixture. Place an inverted plate on top as a lid. Steam for 10 minutes, then let rest with the heat off for 2 minutes.
-
Step 6Remove the dish with tongs. Heat oil until sizzling, pour over scallions and cilantro with a splash of light soy sauce, then drizzle everything over the steamed egg. Serve and enjoy!
