Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Dashi

In a pot, bring dashi stock to a simmer. Add minced ginger and garlic, and let it infuse for about 10 minutes.

2

Cook the Bacon

While the dashi simmers, chop the applewood smoked bacon into small pieces and cook in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

3

Combine Ingredients

After the dashi has infused, add the cleaned clams to the pot along with the soy sauce, crispy bacon, and chopped green onions. Stir gently to combine.

4

Steam the Clams

Cover the pot and let the clams steam for about 5-7 minutes or until they have opened up. Discard any clams that remain closed.

5

Finish and Serve

Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle red pepper flakes to taste. Serve immediately in bowls, ensuring to include the broth.
