This is a classic Chinese dish that is easy and cheap to make. You can serve it as an appetizer but I split this into two servings and add some veggies to the broth. For some reason clams use to gross me out as a kid. Over the years I have broadened my eating spectrum. Boy am I glad I did! Yummy and low cal and perfect for lent. (I made this on Friday but am posting it Monday.) Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend :)Ingredients: Serves Four
1 1/2 cups water

1 1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchstick strips
1 lb clams, rinsed and scrubbed
1 tablespoon Chinese rice wineSalt to taste
Dash of white pepper

Method:

• Bring the water to boil and add the ginger and clams.
• Cover the pot and let cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until all clams are open.
• Add the Chinese rice wine, salt to taste, and pepper.
• Dish out and serve immediately.
