Processing and boiling razor clams
First, with 1kg of razor clams bought, you wash them several times with water until clean. Next, put them in a bowl to soak in diluted saltwater for about 60 minutes. After that, continue to rinse several times with clean water, and let them drain.
At the same time, put a pot on the stove with 500ml of water and boil on high heat. When the water boils, add all the drained razor clams and blanch for about 3 minutes, then remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
Finally, you separate the meat from the shell, then rinse again to clean and let it drain.

Prepare other ingredients
For basil, you only need to pick the young leaves, remove the wilted leaves, and then soak them in diluted saltwater for 10 minutes. Next, rinse them 1 – 2 times with clean water, drain, and use a knife to chop them finely.
For garlic, just peel it, crush it, and then mince it. Lastly, for the chili, remove the stem and slice it thinly.
-
Mixing the sauce
Put into a bowl a mixture of ingredients including: thinly sliced chili, 1/2 of the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 tablespoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2 tablespoons of chili sauce, and 2 teaspoons of chili paste.
Use a spoon to mix well until the sauce ingredients are fully combined.

Stir-fried razor clams
Once the ingredients are prepared, you place a pan on the stove with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and heat it over medium heat. When the butter melts, add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

The razor clams are soft but not mushy, especially retaining their delicious sweetness, blended with a bit of spiciness on the tip of the tongue, making it hard for anyone who has tried it to refuse.
How to choose fresh and delicious razor clams
- Choose clams with sandy yellow shells, intact, with a visible smooth membrane inside.
- Fresh clams should have the smell of mud and seafood, and be large and evenly sized, as these are the ones with more and firmer meat.
- To check if the clams are alive, you can soak them in a basin of water; if you see them sticking out their tongues, they are alive.
- It is advisable to buy clams from reputable seafood vendors to ensure safety when using.
How to quickly clean razor clams without sand
- Method 1: Soak the clams in rice water for 1 – 2 hours, then rinse them thoroughly.
- Method 2: Place the razor clams in a metal basin or one containing metal for about 2 – 3 hours.
- Method 3: The simplest way is to soak the clams in diluted salt water for 2 hours, then rinse 1 – 2 times with clean water.
- Method 4: You can blanch the razor clams in diluted vinegar water for 3 minutes, then remove and rinse several times until clean.
