Prepare the ingredients

Tip: You should add a little salt to the boiling water, which helps the eggs to be whiter and cleaner. But do not add too much as salted eggs are already salty.

Note:
- Do not stir-fry the tomatoes too soft, as it will lose all the vitamins in the tomatoes and could even be harmful to health.
- When processing tomatoes, do not use aluminum pans or cast iron materials, as they often create chemical reactions with the acid in tomatoes, which is not good for health.

Eggs 2 pieces Clams 1 kg Fish sauce 1/2 tablespoon Pepper 1/2 teaspoon Minced shallots 1 tablespoon Seasoning powder 1/2 teaspoon Chopped green onions 1 tablespoon
Tools: Pan, bowl,…
How to choose good clams:
- You should buy clams from reputable stores that sell fresh seafood.
- Choose clams that are tightly closed, have a hard outer shell, are not chipped or cracked, and feel heavy in hand.
- If you see clams slightly open, you can touch them, and if they close immediately, then you should choose them.
How to Cook Stir-fried Eggs with Clams
-
Prepare the clams
After buying, clams are washed with clean water. Place them in a bowl of diluted salt water, adding a few slices of chili. Soak for about 1 – 2 hours; this way, the clams will be cleaned of sand and dirt inside.
Tip: You can also soak clams in warm water at about 50 degrees Celsius; at this temperature, the clams will be stimulated to breathe more, quickly expelling the sand inside.
-
Boil and Marinate Clams
Put the clams into boiling water, cover the pot tightly and boil until the clams open. While boiling, stir regularly to ensure all clams open. After boiling, remove the clams and separate the clam meat.
Marinate the clams with 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon of minced shallots, using chopsticks to mix well for the seasoning to absorb. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Tip: When boiling, add a few slices of ginger to the pot of water to help eliminate the fishy smell of the clams, but do not add too much, as it will make the clams bitter.

Make Stir-fried Eggs with Clams
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, and beat until the eggs are well mixed with the seasoning.
Add 1/2 tablespoon of minced shallots to hot oil in a pan and sauté until fragrant. Add the clams and stir-fry until slightly firm, then transfer to a separate bowl.
Pour the eggs into the pan and stir quickly; when the eggs are slightly cooked, add the clams and stir briefly with green onions, mixing well until the egg mixture is cooked, then turn off the heat.
Tip: You should stir the eggs over medium heat to avoid burning and do not stir-fry for too long; otherwise, the eggs and clams will become dry and lose their deliciousness.
-
Finished Product
Golden, creamy eggs mixed with fresh, sweet clams, lightly scented with fried onions, served with hot rice is incredibly delicious!
Tips for Successful Execution
- To keep tomatoes looking vibrant red, they should be stir-fried over high heat, but be sure to stir continuously to avoid burning.
- When adding eggs, stir evenly; when the eggs start to thicken, stir a few more times before turning off the heat. Don’t wait until the eggs are completely dry, as that will make them tough, hard, and less tasty.
- Clams should be soaked for only 1 to 2 hours; do not soak them too long or overnight, as this can cause the clams to die and become inedible.
- This dish is best enjoyed while still hot; as it cools, the fishy smell of the eggs and clams becomes stronger, making it less enjoyable.
