Q: Can I use bottled clam juice instead of the water from boiling the clams?
A: Yes, bottled clam juice can be a substitute but using the water from boiling the clams will provide a fresher and more authentic flavor.
Q: Is it necessary to remove the foam after adding the clam water to the eggs?
A: Yes, removing the foam helps to achieve a smoother texture in the steamed egg custard.
Q: How do I know when the steamed egg is perfectly cooked?

Simple Clam Steamed Egg
Notes
Ingredients:

- Wash the clams and boil them in cold water until they open. Then, turn off the heat.
- Crack 1-2 eggs into a shallow dish and beat well.
- Pour the water used to boil the clams into the beaten eggs (stir with one hand while pouring with the other), skim off any foam, then steam over boiling water for about 10 minutes.
