👨‍🍳 Instructions

Scrub and rinse clams.

Soak in a large bowl of cold water for 5 minutes.

Drain thoroughly.

Heat a wok or large saucepan over high heat.

Quickly pour in the sake, mirin and rice vinegar.

Add the clams; cover and cook until the clams open, 3 to 4 minutes.

Discard any clams that do not open.

Remove any scum that forms on the surface using a spoon or paper towel.

Stir in the butter, soy sauce and green onion, tossing to coat the clams as the butter melts.

Arrange clams on a serving plate and drizzle the sauce over them.

Serve immediately.
