  Prepare the razor clams

  After buying the razor clams, use a knife to make a straight cut down the middle of the shell, then use a spoon to scrape out all the mud and internal organs inside.

  Rinse the razor clams thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and sand, then place them in a colander to drain.

  Make crispy pork fat

  Place a pan on high heat and add the pork fat, stirring continuously. Continue stirring until the fat starts to melt, then lower the heat, still stirring to prevent burning and to achieve an even golden color.

  Tip: The fat needs to be wiped or dried to avoid splattering when added to the hot pan.

  When the pork fat has become crispy and all the fat has rendered out, turn off the heat.

  Make onion fat

  Transfer the crispy pork fat into a bowl with green onions, gradually pour in the right amount of fat into the bowl of green onions so that the fat covers the onions, allowing the hot fat to cook the onions.

  Season the green onions with 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, mix well.

  Grilling razor clams with scallion oil

  You use a piece of aluminum foil to place the razor clam in the center, scoop some scallion oil and fried pork fat on top.

  Fold the clam meat over to wrap around the scallion oil, then squeeze tightly to seal the aluminum foil.

  Place the razor clam on a high heat charcoal grill and grill for about 10 minutes until the razor clam is cooked, and you can serve it on a plate right away!

  Tip: To keep the dish tidier while grilling, you can wrap the razor clam and grill it in aluminum foil; otherwise, you can still grill it normally without using aluminum foil!
