About This Recipe

This savory stir-fried clams recipe is a delicious seafood dish bursting with umami flavors and a hint of spice. Tender clams are first simmered in soy-infused water for a rich base, then stir-fried with aromatic ginger, garlic, and chili peppers in fragrant peanut oil. The secret to its depth of flavor lies in double doses of oyster sauce, which adds a savory-sweet richness, balanced by crisp green peppers and a splash of cooking wine for brightness. By removing half the empty shells, each bite is packed with juicy, meaty clams for a more satisfying experience. Quick and easy to prepare, this dish delivers restaurant-quality taste in under 20 minutes—perfect for a weeknight dinner with a spicy kick. Garnish with fresh scallions for a vibrant finish!
