How to Choose Fresh Clams
- Fresh clams usually have their shells closed. If you try to pry open the shell and it opens easily, this means the clam is dead and should not be purchased.
- You should choose clams with sturdy, intact shells that are not broken.
- When buying, select larger clams that feel firm when held, as these will have more meat and will taste sweeter when eaten.
- Avoid purchasing very small clams as they will have shriveled meat and will not taste good.

Prepare the Ingredients
After purchasing clams, use a knife to separate the clam meat from the shell and place it in a bowl. Then, keep the extracted water and use scissors to cut the clams into small, bite-sized pieces.
For the rice, rinse it clean and soak it in warm water for about 3 hours, then use a pressure cooker or rice cooker to simmer the porridge.
For the shallots, peel them and divide them into 2 parts. One part should be sliced thinly for frying, and the other part should be finely chopped.
Wash the herbs thoroughly and chop them finely.

Stir-fry the Clams
Place a pot on the stove and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the chopped shallots and sauté until fragrant.
Next, add the clam meat and stir-fry until cooked over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
-
Cook the porridge
When the clams are cooked and fragrant, add the porridge to the pot and cook for about 15 – 20 minutes. Next, when the porridge boils, add 1 teaspoon of seasoning and stir well with chopsticks.
Finally, adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.
-
Sauté onions
Add 3 teaspoons of cooking oil to the pan and heat over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and stir with chopsticks until the onions turn golden. Then remove them to a bowl and let them cool.
Finally, sprinkle some herbs and a little fried onion to decorate the porridge. Now you can enjoy it.
Tip: To prevent the fried onions from becoming bitter, only cook them until they are just golden before removing them. -
