About This Recipe

Experience the rich flavors of the sea with this simple yet delicious Stir-Fried Clams with Scallions recipe. Fresh clams are quickly cooked with aromatic scallions and Shaoxing wine, creating a dish that’s bursting with umami and a hint of sweetness. The key to perfection lies in prepping the clams—trimming the tendon ensures they stay tender without overcooking. A hot stir-fry with scallions infuses the oil with fragrance before the clams are added, then a splash of Shaoxing wine and water elevate the natural brininess. Ready in minutes, this dish is ideal for a quick weeknight meal or an impressive appetizer. The combination of succulent clams, savory wine, and crisp scallions makes every bite irresistible. Try it with steamed rice to soak up the flavorful broth!
