How to Choose Good Clams
- Choose clams with strong shells that are tightly closed.
- If the shell easily opens when you pry it apart, the clam is not fresh.
- If the clam is still moving, even if it is slightly open, if you touch it and it closes, then it is fresh.
Visit TasteVN supermarkets nationwide or the e-commerce site bachhoaxanh.com if you want to buy canned coconut milk. Additionally, you can also make coconut milk at home using TasteVN’s recipe!

Tips for Successfully Making the Dish

- When stir-frying clams, stir evenly to ensure the clams absorb all the seasonings.
- You should stir-fry the clams thoroughly because if the clams are not fully cooked, they may contain harmful parasites.
