I can't find the type of clam I used to eat in Malaysia or Asia here in Chinatown, NYC. I dunno what is the scientific name of the these clam but it's really taste super good!! But one day when I was looking for Chilen Seabass at the frozen section I accidentally found the type of clam(flower pattern shell) that I used to eat but in a prepacked vacuum package .I think it's look similar as the one I ate in Malaysia just looking at the shell..so waste no time I pick up few package home with me.To my surprised this semi-cooked clam taste really fresh,chewy and delicious!! The bright side of getting semi-cooked clam is that this clam was cleaned with no soil but still taste clammy!!
Ingredients:
1 package or 2 lbs cleaned clam ,thawed
1 large onion,peeled and sliced
3 tbsp sambal belacan paste
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp oil
1 stalk scallion,washed and cut
Method;
1:Heat deep skillet or wok with oil at medium high heat,add in sambal-belacan-paste and cleaned clam.Use spatula to stir well for 2-3 minutes Since the clam is semi-cooked,do not cook too long.
2:Add in.cut onion, sugar and salt to taste.Toss the ingredients together well until all combined,about 3-4 minutes. Check the seasoning before sprinkle scallion into the cooked clam.
3:Dish out immediately and serve warm.
