#COOKING: FRIED CLAMS IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE RECIPE
Fried Clams in Black Bean Sauce |豆豉炒蜆. This is a favourite of mine and my mom totally approves, giving this a big thumbs up!

2 tbsp ginger, minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsps tapioca starch
1 tsp organic raw sugar
1 stalk green onion, minced
1 tbsp sesame oil
Black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat.
2. Sautée garlic, chilli, shallots and ginger till caramelized. Add black bean sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes.
3. Add pork and stir well. Cook till pork is browned.
4. Turn heat to high and add clams, covering lid.
5. In small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, starch and about 2 tablespoons of water.
6. Uncover lid after clamshells cook open (about five minutes) and using spatula, stir soy and starch paste into liquid till sauce thickens. Add sesame oil and pepper.
