Ingredients
- 2 giant little neck clams
- ½ green onion/scallion (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- sea salt (for mounting)
Seasonings:
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp sake
- ½ Tbsp mirin
Instructions
- As soon as you purchase clams, de-grit them to purge sand (Read on How to De-Grit Clams). It takes about 1 hour to do this process.
- Start the grill. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the ingredients. Chop green onions, cut butter into small cubes, and combine the seasonings in a small bowl.
- When the grill is hot, place the clams on it. When the clams are fully opened, after about 5 minutes, pour the Seasonings and put green onion and butter on the clams, and cook until boiling. Carefully remove them from the grill. Try not to spill their juices.
- Serve on top of the sea salt. Enjoy!

To Store
- I don't recommend keeping the clams for a long time, so enjoy it on the same day you cook.
