Cooking in passion, in a smart way – saves times and energy in crafting great food. Base line is – ‘easy, healthy, tasty’.
For this time, a far most easy dish which i nearly forget to add in is this “Clams in ginger soup”. The soup – contains ginger and cili padi – gives you a bursting taste and satisfies in all criteria which you have in your mind.
This, Clam Soup with Ginger is absolute favorite dish and easily replicated at home. The most important thing is to get fresh clams (preferably those that are still moving) and other important ingredients that you need are ginger, garlic, cili padi (bird’s eye chili), and Shaoxing wine.
Experimenting with addition of ikan bilis (anchovies) stock and without it – it’s your real call.
Try it and do let me know.
