Stir-Fry Savoury Clams With Black Bean Sauce



I like Savoury Clams cooked in Chinese style. This is a recipe for Stir-Fry Savoury Clams With Black Bean Sauce. The clams are sweet and a little salty, from the fermented black beans. It’s simply delicious with just some steamed rice. Try it!

    This recipe worked really well for me even though I had to use mussels instead of clams, as this is the only shellfish available from our local supermarket; didn't have to add any salt in the end.
