Steamed eggs with clams

Ingredients

Directions

Here's a nice Vietnamese recipe that will make your cholesterol go a-zooming, but is worth the indulgence once in awhile - Michael Loo Wash the clams clean, leave them in thin salt water for half a day [with a handful of cornmeal] so that they can spit out mud and sand naturally, wash them clean and drain.

Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a clean pot; add clams. Return to boil and cook over high heat until clams are open. Strain the broth and set 1½ c aside to cool.

Beat the eggs in a bowl, mix them with the cooled broth, and season with salt and MSG.

Put the clams in a steaming bowl, pour the egg mixture over, and steam above just-boiling water for about 25 minutes for serving.
