For those who prefer a stronger taste, then Thai-Flavoured, Stir-Fried Sambal Chives or Salted Spicy DouTou Clam are the choices to go. The Thai-Flavoured tasted like Mango Kerabu with 6 different fruits and vegetables and the sour-spicy sauce gives a nice body to the fresh DouTou clams.
Personally, I enjoyed the Asian touch in the Stir-Fried Sambal Chives with DouTou clams. Crispy texture contributed by the fresh chives complemented the meaty clams well, giving an alternating sharp contrast in the biting texture. On the other hand, the salted spicy version allows you to enjoy the clams as a snack. It is deep fried then lightly seasoned with chopped chili, salt and pepper. Best to have it with some alcohol drinks.
