Ingredients

  • dozen littleneck clams, shucked
  • large egg
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup club soda or seltzer water
  • tablespoons sesame seed, toasted, cooled
  • teaspoon oriental sesame oil
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • vegetable oil or peanut oil, for deep-frying
  • rice vinegar
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Rinse clams. Drain well, then dry thoroughly with paper towels. (Important! If clams are not completely dry before coating, they will sputter violently when added to hot oil.).
    2. 2
      Whisk egg in small bowl. Add flour, club soda, sesame seeds and oil, and baking powder; whisk until completely blended.
    3. 3
      Heat 2 inches oil in deep medium skillet to 375 degrees. Dip 6 dry clams into batter, then add to oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven while frying remaining clams.
    4. 4
      Serve clams as appetizer and drizzle with vinegar.
