SEASONING SAUCE
(1) Clean cockles in water, rubbing hard. Place in weak salted water for 3 hours to remove sands.

: by Bok Ryou Han Note: * Since cockles are perishable, use live ones. Live ones move when you open shells. Use knife to open shells. * In order to remove dirt and sand from cockles, place them in weak salted water and leave them in dark place for 3 hours. *Be careful not to overcook cockles since they shrink easily.
