Directions

To Prep

1. You can easily pound the birds eye chilli and kaffir lime leaves using a mortar and pestle.

To Cook

1. Heat up a wok with some oil. When the oil begins to smoke, quickly add the lemongrass, galangal, bird’s eye chilies and stir fry until fragrant.
2. Add the clams to the wok and combine with the previous ingredients. Follow up by adding the coconut water.

5. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with some steamed rice.
