METHODS
1. Soak the clams in the water for 5 minutes and add a tablespoon of chopped chilli to clean the durst of the shell surface. Then wash them
2. Peel off the outside layer of lemongrass and rinse it with water. Then crushed it using a knife and cut them into 3-5mm long pieces. Keep them and make sure do not pound or grind them into small pieces. Sliced ginger into shredded pieces and place them at the bottom of the pot.
3. Place the clams on top and add 1/2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp fish sauce, chicken powder, 1/2 tsp chopped chillies). It actually depends on the amount of spicy food intake you can. Otherwise I would not recommend if you cannot eat spicy food. Pour water into the clam pot and then boil it under medium heat for 10 minutes. Wait till the clams slowly opened up their shells. When it began to sizzles and then turn the stove off.
4. Bring out the clams and serve with chilli, ginger and garlic and then mixed with a little bit of sugar and lemon juice for the ginger dipping sauce. Top up with coriander and mint leaves.
