Sake-boiled clams

Inspired by "Shinya Shokudo" (Midnight Diner), a Japanese drama telling stories happened around a tiny restaurant that opens in midnight.

Thanks to my wife's talent, she makes it her own way:

Dry fry chopped garlic and ginger in a pre-heated Tajine Pot, till the aroma floats into nose.
Spread 600-900 grams of clam into pot and give them a few slightly stirs.
Pour 300cc (or more) of Japanese Sake for its sweetness. Chinese rice cooking wine will bring differently bitter taste.
Simmer for 90 seconds till all clams cheerily open up.
Fire off. Toss a handful of chopped scallion and a pinch of chopped chili.
Try soaking a spoonful of steamed rice into sake soup to enrich and warm your stomach, that'll be truly super.

This is Sake-boiled clams. Nice.
