It is once in a blue moon would you fine these delicious bamboo clams in the wet market. My favourite way of cooking this 'razor blades yummies' is using chilly and tauchoo. I like it simply bcoz it is easy and a quick dish to make.
To make this dish, basically u need 4 ingredients:
- 1 kg bamboo clams
- 1 large onion
- Chilly tauchoo paste made of: 5-8 dried chillies, 1 tbsp tauchoo, 3 shallots and 2 garlic
- tamarind juice from 1 tbsp of tamarind
- coriander leaves
- brown sugar & salt to taste
Method:
1. Stir fry the onions till golden.
2. Pour in the chilly-tauchoo paste, a little brown sugar and salt to taste.
3. Once the paste is done ( oil raises to the surface), pour in the tamarind juice.
4. Let it simmer for a while and add in bamboo clams.
5. Stir fry the clams for a few minutes and put in coriander leaves.
6. Best served hot.
