For this claypot clams with noodles, we’re using these awesome Batik clams – you might know them “kerang batik” in Malay. These little guys bring a sweet and briny flavour that totally amps up any dish they’re in, whether it’s a soup, stir-fry, or curry.
This dish starts with a flavour powerhouse: garlic, ginger, and chilli. They come together to give the soup a punchy depth, creating that irresistible umami taste that we all know and crave.
We then pull out all the stops for the soup with ingredients like Shaoxin wine, dashi soup, and tang hoon (glass noodles). Together, they take this dish to a whole new level of shiok.
Plus, cooking this dish in a claypot spreads the heat evenly, leaving you wanting another bowl every time.
