How To Cook Stir - Fried Icicle Radish With Clams :
PREPARE AHEAD:
1. With a small knife, peel off and discard the thick skin of the
radish, and cut the radish crosswise into 1/8-inch slices. Then cut
the slices into shreds 2 inches long and 1/8 inch wide (there should
be about 3 cups).
2. Shuck the clams, or have the fishmonger do it for you. To rid the
clam juice of sand, strain it through a double layer of cheesecloth
into a small bowl.3. Put aside ½ cup of the clam juice into one bowl
and dissolve the cornstarch in an additional 2 tablespoons of clam
juice in another bowl. Cut the clams in half, washing them in cold
water if they seem sandy. Reserve them in a third bowl.
4. Have the above ingredients, the oil, scallions, salt and sugar
within easy reach.
TO COOK:
1. Set a 12-inch wok or 10-inch skillet over high heat for about 30
seconds. Pour in 2 tablespoons of oil, swirl it about in the pan and
heat for another 30 seconds, turning the heat down to moderate if
the oil begins to smoke.
2. Add the scallions, stir-fry for a few seconds, then drop in the
shredded radish. Stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the salt and. sugar.
Pour in the ½ cup of clam juice, bring to a boil and cover the pan.
3. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook for 10 minutes. Then drop
in the clams, stir for 30 seconds-no longer, or they will toughen.
Give the cornstarch mixture a quick stir to recombine it and pour
it over the clams.
4. Stir over high heat for a few seconds until all the ingredients
are coated with a light, clear glaze. Transfer the entire contents
of the pan to a heated platter and serve at once.To Serve: 4 to 6
