Crispy Fried Razor Clams – Crunchy & Flavorful

Crispy fried razor clams are a delicious snack with a golden, crunchy coating and tender, sweet clam meat inside. They pair perfectly with spicy chili sauce or tangy garlic-lime dip.
Ingredients:

500g razor clams
100g crispy frying flour
50g cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
1 egg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp seasoning powder
1 tsp minced garlic
Cooking oil

Dipping Sauce (Optional):

2 tbsp chili sauce
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp lime juice

Instructions:

Prepare the Clams:
Soak the razor clams in saltwater or rice-washed water for 2-3 hours to remove sand.
Rinse thoroughly, then blanch in boiling water with ginger. Drain well.
Remove the clam meat and marinate with salt, pepper, seasoning powder, and minced garlic for 15 minutes.

Prepare the Batter:
Beat the egg in a bowl.
In another bowl, mix crispy frying flour and cornstarch.

Fry the Clams:
Dip each clam into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a pan and deep-fry the clams over medium heat.
Once golden and crispy, remove and drain excess oil.

Serve:
Arrange on a plate and optionally sprinkle with crispy fried shallots or Vietnamese coriander.
Serve with spicy chili sauce or garlic-lime dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Tips:

✔ Soak the clams well to remove all sand and grit.
✔ Deep-fry in enough oil for an even, crispy texture.
✔ Use panko breadcrumbs instead of crispy flour for a crunchier coating.
