How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh razor clams
- You should choose those that are not chipped, broken, have a sandy yellow shell, and you can observe a smooth and clear membrane.
- Choose live clams that smell of mud and characteristic seafood.
- Only choose clams when you see them sticking out their tongues when they encounter water, as that indicates fresh clams.
- Razor clams, like other types of clams, will have a very unpleasant smell when dead, so you absolutely should not buy them.
How to choose delicious and safe salted eggs
- Choose salted eggs that have a beautiful orange-yellow color, not too large, with no cracks on the outside, no mold spots, and when shaken gently, you can feel a little water inside the egg.
- Avoid choosing eggs that, when cracked open, have a rotten smell, cloudy egg whites, and shriveled yolks with unusual colors.
- You can buy salted eggs at reputable stores, supermarkets, and markets. To ensure better hygiene, you can also make salted eggs right at home using the recipe shared by TasteVN.

-
Prepare the ingredients
To remove all the mud and sand from the cockles and eliminate the fishy smell, soak the cockles in diluted saltwater for about 30 minutes, then take them out and wash them thoroughly, and let them drain.
After draining, put the cockles into a pot and boil over medium heat for about 10 minutes until the cockles open their shells.
Then, separate the shells and use a knife to cut a straight line along the cockle body, remove the cockle meat, and wash it again 2-3 times with clean water.
How to clean cockles of sand:
- Method 1: To make the cockles spit out all the sand, soak them in rice water, add a few slices of chili, and soak the cockles for about 30 minutes.
- Method 2: Soaking the cockles in diluted saltwater for 1-2 hours also helps clean the sand from the cockle meat.
- Method 3: Blanching in boiling water makes it easier to remove the cockle meat from the shells and clean the meat.
Make salted egg sauce for razor clams
Heat a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, when the oil is hot, add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
When the garlic is golden and fragrant, add the briefly boiled razor clams and stir-fry for about 3 minutes until the clams are firm.
