Instructions

1
Soak the lala clams in salted water for 20-30 minutes to help them purge any sand.
2
Scrub the clam shells with your hands or a brush, then rinse thoroughly under cold running water; discard any cracked or damaged clams.
3
Peel the ginger and cut into strips; seed the red chilies and cut into pieces; cut the scallion into strips.
4
Heat a wok or skillet over high heat and add the oil.
5
Once the oil is hot, add the ginger and red chilies and cook until their aromas are released.
6
Add the clams to the wok and stir-fry continuously for a few seconds.
7
Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, taucheo (if using), and water.
8
Continue stir-frying until the clams open up and are fully cooked through; discard any clams that stay closed, as they may be stale.
9
Add the scallions and stir to combine well with all the ingredients.
10
Dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice or porridge.
