You might like to add more chilli if you are using sweet chilli sauce like Maggi Brand. I didn%u2019t add water because you will get quite a bit of sauce when you stir-fry the clams. So water isn%u2019t necessary.


I might sound silly, but can we eat the shell cos it said soft shell clam(like soft shell crab)i never had those.


Oh, no. We dont eat the shell. It's not like soft shell crabs. The shells of these clams are very thin, like egg, not really 'soft'. ^_-


Yummy i love seafood, wonder where cani get soft shell clam


The recipe sounds fantastic, and the picture is perfect


I would like to save this recipe for the party.
It will be the best side dish. Thank you!
