Korean Steamed Clams Appetizer

• 24 littleneck clams
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 scallions, chopped

• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons jalapeno peppers, finely chopped

1. Discard any clams that do not close when you give them a good rap (don't smash them) Scrub them twinkly clean.
2. In a large pot (big enough to hold the clams in a single layer) bring 1 cup of salted water to a boil and drop in the clams, cover and steam for 6 minutes or until the clams open (if any clams do not open discard) Meanwhile whisk together the remaining ingredients.
3. Remove clams and drain.
4. Remove 1 part of the shell so the clams are sitting in a half shell, loosen the clam with a twist of a knife Pour a little of the sauce onto each clam.
5. Serve hot or cold.
