It's been a while, how have you been? Yeah, I have been busy for sometimes but today I want to share my recipe from my kitchen. It's simple, easy to cook, and has amazing taste!
Clam? Well, in the past I didn't know about any clam food as we were just common folk in a remote village. Frog menu, I knew as one of my neighbors has the job to find the green frog in the night at paddy field for one of the Chinese restaurants. Snails? Some neighbors harvested snails in my father's yard once in a while and cooked it as a menu at home. But clam? None of us recognized this ingredient as we lived far away from the sea where we can find it.

After moved to Singapore I have begun to explore ingredients that are slightly strange or new to me, for instance, bamboo clam, green muscle, and of course this common clam. To cook this clam I have to do it carefully since I would easy to get nausea and vomit if I do not prepare it properly. This is my way how to make a tasty clam dish on the dining table! Let's rock!
Ingredient:
- 400 g of clam meat - I chose frozen clam
- 6 cloves of shallot - cut or chop it
- 6-8 cloves of garlic - cut or chop it
- 2 stalks of rosemary
- a bunch of celery - cut it
- roughly about 30 ml of canola oil
- 2-3 tbsp of butter
- 2 tbsp of black pepper sauce
These are what you do:
- Defroze the clam if you choose frozen clam
- Prepare the pan, pour canola oil, add garlic and shallot that you chop. Turn on the stove on medium-low flame. Saute for about 3-4 minutes
- Add clam, rosemary, and butter. Stir them, let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. I would prefer 15 minutes. Turn on the stove on low-medium-high. To set up the stove I think it depends on the stove you use at home. But the point is we need to cook it until the water is almost gone since frozen clam contains water.

What do you think? It looked great, huh?😋 If you can finish the black pepper clam, we can save it in the container and put it in the fridge. The next day we can take it out, then warm it with your microwave or warm it for a few seconds on a pan and set the stove low-medium flame.
