Clam Salad With Miso Dresssing
"From The Japanese Cooking Class Cookbook. Best with fresh clams, but canned baby clams can be used in a pinch, just don't cook them, as they are already cooked, just marinate them in a few drops of sake.
Raw clams may also be used if they are VERY fresh. Place shucked raw clams in a sieve, immerse them in a large bowl containing 3 cups cold water and 2 tsp salt. Gently shake colander several times, allowing water to rinse clams; drain well."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
