Steam Flower Clams in Garlic White Wine

Ingredients:

• 500gm Fresh Flower Clams
• 1 bulb garlic - Chopped
• 2 Bird's eye chillies - Chopped
• 1 bunch corriander - roughly chopped
• 2 stalks spring onions - cut in 1-inch length
• Chinese Shaoxing wine - 1 cup
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Soak clams in salt water for 3 hours (change water every 1/2 hour)
• Drain clams and set aside
• In a pot, heat up some oil and saute the garlic till fragrant
• Put in chillies and saute for 1 min and pinch of salt
• Pour in Chinese wine and clams and cover till all clams open
• Discard any unopened clams and adjust salt to taste
• Put in chopped corriander and spring onions and serve.

The natural sweetness from the clams will flavour the stock and therefore need not add additional stock.
