How to Make Spicy XO Stir-fried Clams
1. Cook the clams: Thaw the clams if needed. Boil in water with a splash of cooking wine until the shells open.
2. Sauté the garlic: Heat a pan with a little oil and cook the garlic until fragrant.
3. Stir-fry the clams: Add the clams to the pan and toss together with the garlic. Add another splash of cooking wine for extra flavour. Stir in a generous spoonful of XO sauce and mix well.
4. Thicken the sauce: Add a starch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens and coats the clams evenly.
5. Finish and serve: Stir in fresh coriander and serve hot. Add an extra spoonful of XO sauce on top if desired.
