STEP 1/19
I'll teach you how to do cockle
Fish and shellfish live in the mud flat, so they live in the mud flat
So I have to get rid of it
First, rinse the cockle with running water and rub it with your hands with rubber gloves
When you're peeling fish and shellfish, you put it in salt water a lot, right?
Cockles can be soaked in plain water, not salt water
The cockles that live in the mudflats rinse the skin several times,
I heard that if you soak it in plain water for 30 minutes, it's enough to get rid of it
I heard that fish and shellfish that live in the sand do that
STEP 2/19
Soak the cockles after rinsing several times in plain water for about 30 minutes, and the water became murky
STEP 3/19
Can't we just boil cockles in hot water?
If it's all open, it's all cooked, right?I'm sure there are a lot of people who think that!
Unlike other fish and shellfish, cockles get tough as they boil for longer
If you boil it for too long, it's hard to eat because it's tough like chewing rubber
I'll teach you how to boil cockles today
You'll be able to taste the chewy cockles
First, pour water into the pot and boil it
Cockle is not boiled in boiling hot water
When bubbles come up, you have to boil it in water before it boils
If you boil it in hot water, it will cook quickly and get tough
You have to add cockles when the bubbles start to rise before it boils!
That's the point!!!!
STEP 4/19
So if you put cockles before it boils, it becomes like you put them in plain water
Boil it like this
STEP 5/19
And you have to stir it in one direction and boil it
The fact that you don't roll it around, you just have to stir it in one direction!
Why?
You have to stir it in one direction, but the kernel of the cockle sticks to one shell and boils it later
It's easy to take it off
If you roll it around, it sticks to both sides and tears when you take it out
Boil it for about 10 minutes
It depends on the amount of cockles, not just 10 minutes
When the cockles open their mouths, turn off the light off
STEP 6/19
I'm going to prepare cockles now
STEP 7/19
You can prepare cockles easily with a spoon If you turn the cooked cockle upside down, the back part comes out
STEP 8/19
There's a groove between the shells
Put a spoon in the groove and twist it to the left
STEP 9/19
It opens up like a picture
Open up the cockles
STEP 10/19
It separates neatly like this
STEP 11/19
Chop green onion and cheongyang pepper
Adjust the amount of cheongyang peppers to your liking
If you like spicy food, add a lot. If you don't like spicy food, you can skip it
STEP 12/19
Put the trimmed cockles in a bowl,
Add 1T of minced garlic
STEP 13/19
Add chopped green onions and chopped Cheongyang red pepper
STEP 14/19
Add 2T of sesame seeds
STEP 15/19
Add 4T of red pepper powder
STEP 16/19
Add 2T of sesame oil
STEP 17/19
Add 4T of soy sauce
(In Jeolla-do, you season it with soy sauce. If you don't have soy sauce, you can season it with soy sauce.)
STEP 18/19
Mix until the sauce is cut evenly
STEP 19/19
When it's warm, you can eat it right away
Seasoned cockles
1. Boil cockles with water before boiling, not boiling water
2. Stir in one direction when boiling cockles
3. All you need is a spoon when you touch cockles.
