Instructions

Clean the Shellfish

Scrub the clams thoroughly under running water to remove any grit. Drain well and set aside.

Heat the oil in a wok or large pan over high heat. Add the clams and stir-fry vigorously until they just begin to open their shells.

Add Aromatics and Wine

Pour in the white wine and toss the clams. Add the minced ginger, garlic, chopped scallions, and dried red chili pieces. Season with salt and white pepper.

Finish Cooking
