We first ate razor clam at Assam Restaurant in Batu Laut. It was fried "kung poh" style, which was hot and spicy.  We just love the sponginess of the razor clams and we never forgot how good it tasted!

This morning SK was at the market and when he saw razor clams being sold at the fishmonger's, the first thing he did was to check whether they were fresh by poking at them and pouring a little bit of fresh water on them to see if they moved. And moved they did. So SK bought 500g worth.

Today, I am going to share with you how to cook razor clam with fermented soy bean paste, which is just as good.

Ingredients

500g razor clams
20g ginger slices
90g fermented bean paste
3 chilli padi
3 pips garlic, chopped
1 Chinese rice bowl water
2 tbsp cooking oil

Fermented soy bean paste

Fresh razor clams

Instructions

1.  Heat wok and add 2 tbsp cooking oil.

2.  Fry chopped garlic, chilli padi and ginger slices until fragrant.

3.  Add fermented bean paste and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add water.

4.  Add in razor clams and let boil for 10 to 15 minutes.
5.  Dish up and serve.
