A clam specialty dish from the mid region of Vietnam; known for their spicy and aromatic dishes. This dish can be eaten with rice, rice noodles, rice crackers, or just by itself! The clams I’m using are the pre-cooked and meat only baby clams. You can use any clams meat, just make sure it’s minced Coarsely if they’re big clams. Happy cooking!
