Another recipe from ” The Vietnamese Market Cookbook” which they recommend serving with thin cut french fries- and why wouldn’t you! I like to use small clams but it works with any clams or mussels.
Ingredients
- 1 kg fresh clams in shell or mussels
- 250 ml white wine
- 2 lemongass stalks trimmed, outer leaves removed , and chopped
- 2 fresh red chillies deseeded and chopped
To Garnish:
- 4-6 sprigs coriander
- 2=3 sprigs mint
Servings:
Instructions
- Soak the clams in a large bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes to remove any sand or grit, then rinse under cold running water.
- Put the clams in a heatproof dish that will fit inside your wok. Pour the wine over them and add the lemongrass and chilli. Place the dish in the wok, then pour enough water into the wok to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
- Place the wok over a medium heat, cover and cook the clams for about 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the dish from the pot and discard any clams that haven,t opened. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with coriander and mint. Serve immediately.
