- 1 spring onion chopped for garnish
- 1/2 tbsp light soy sauce

Instructions
- Soak the clams in salt water for 30 minutes to make them spit out the sand in them. Rinse and scrub well.Pro Tip: Buy washed frozen clams to save time on cleaning the clams.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add water into it, at the perfect water-to-egg ratio of 2-to-1. Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, then gently beat it until the yolk, white and water are well combined.Pro Tip: You can use the egg shells to easily measure the water.
- Pour in the egg mixture on a plate and let it steam for 5 minutes.Pro Tip: Make sure the water is boiling in the wok and that your stove is still on high heat when you place the eggs in. After you cover the wok, leave the stove on high heat for about 2 minutes until the water starts boiling again. Once it boils, lower the heat to a simmer for 3 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, place the clams on top and let it steam for another 3-5 minutes or until the clams open.
