Ingredients for Spicy Clam Fried Rice Serves 3 – 4 people
Clams 500 gr Ground pork 200 gr Hot water 400 ml Filtered water 1 cup Chili sauce 3 tablespoons Tomato sauce 1 tablespoon Plum sauce 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce 2 tablespoons Sugar 5 tablespoons Seasoning powder 2 tablespoons Salt 2 tablespoons Chili powder 1 tablespoon Cooking oil 3 tablespoons Minced shallots, garlic, and chili 2 tablespoons Minced lemongrass 3 stalks
How to choose good clams
You should choose clams with closed shells, as these are the ones that are still alive and fresh. You can try to pry open the clam’s shell; if it easily opens, then it is a dead clam and you should not choose this type.
Also, you should choose clams with hard, intact shells that are not cracked or broken, and are larger in size and feel firm in your hand! Avoid choosing those that are too small or feel light in your hand as the meat will be shriveled and not tasty.

How to make Spicy Clam Stir-Fried Rice
-
Boil clams
First, you put the cleaned clams into a pot, then add 500ml of boiling water and put it on the stove, boiling for 2 minutes; when you see the clams open their mouths, it’s done!
Do not boil the clams for too long because later you will stir-fry the clams with the sauce, avoiding the clams losing water, making the meat shrink and taste less delicious.
