Ingredients

• 2 lb clams
• 0.25 oz ginger
• 3 clove garlic
• 2 whole chili pepper
• 3 stalk green onion
• 3 layer red onion
• 1 oz red bell pepper
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tsp cooking oil
• 2 tsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1.25 tbsp fermented black bean sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil

Steps

1. 1

   Place the clams into a bowl of cold water. Let them soak while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. 2

   Smash, peel, and mince the garlic.

3. 3

   Prepare the sauce by combining light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, white pepper, and sugar.

4. 4

   Drain the clams from the water; you may see that it’s sandy from the clams expelling debris.

5. 5

   Heat the wok on high heat. Make sure it’s dry, and add oil.

6. 6

   Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the clams back in and stir-fry everything together for 25-30 seconds.
