A simple Asian-inspired steamed clam dish with flavorful broth
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1½ tablespoons minced ginger
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Oyster flavored sauce (available at Asian grocery stores)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 pounds Littleneck or Manila clams, rinsed and scrubbed
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 small lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burned. Stir in the Oyster sauce followed by the chicken broth. When the broth begins to gently simmer, add the clams. Cover the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until clams have opened. Discard any closed clams. Add the parsley and give the pot a quick stir. Transfer the clams and broth to a large serving bowl with lemon wedges on the side.
