Garlic Steamed Clams with Tofu (Simple Rice Cooker Version)

Features: Inspired by the combination of steamed clams in sake and classic tofu dishes. The sweet, savory flavor of the clams is fully absorbed by the tofu below, enhanced by minced garlic, resulting in a clear, sweet broth with restaurant-level quality. Ingredients: Half a pound of clams (pre-soaked in saltwater to purge sand, then washed) 1 block of soft tofu (sliced or cubed and layered at the bottom of a deep dish) 3 cloves of garlic (minced), a little chopped green onion Seasonings: 1 tbsp rice wine, 1 tsp steamed fish soy sauce, a pinch of white pepper, and sesame oil. Instructions: Layer the sliced soft tofu at the bottom of a deep dish, arranging the purged clams around the sides. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly, then drizzle with rice wine, steamed fish soy sauce, and a little sesame oil. Add 1 cup of water to the outer pot of the rice cooker and press the start button. Once the switch pops up and all the clams have opened, let it steam for 3 minutes. Finally, garnish with chopped green onions.
