    The flavors in this Thai-inspired clam dish are delicious, with lemongrass, cilantro and coconut milk. Its not very complicated to make, once the clams are cleaned the whole dish comes together in about 20 minutes.,Alt=,I modified this recipe from The Goodful Cookbook (affil link) which is filled 125 recipes that make everyday meals a nourishing, mindful experience. My family loves seafood for the holidays and clams are so quick and easy to make. The original recipe called for a full can of coconut milk, a bit ore wine and grilling sourdough bread. To lighten it up I cut the canned coconut milk in half, reduced the wine and made the bread optional, although I recommend having some to sop up all that broth. This would also be great served over jasmine rice to make it a meal and to keep it gluten-free.,Garlic Shrimp,Mussels Fra Diavolo,Clam Chowder,Portuguese Seafood Stew,Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Rinse and Scrub the Clams to Remove Any Sand or Barnacles from the Shells

    2
    Done

    Fill a Bowl Large Enough to Fit the Colander With Cold Water and 3 to 4 Tablespoons Salt For Every 6 Cups Water. Stir Until Most of the Salt Has Dissolved.

    3
    Done

    Place the Colander in the Bowl of Salt Water and Soak the Clams For at Least 1 Hour and Up to Overnight, So They Release Any Grit and Sand. (live Clams Will Filter the Water and Push Out Any Impurities in the Process; the Grit Falls to the Bottom of the Bowl and the Colander Allows You to Lift Out the Clams Without Disturbing the Grit.)

    4
    Done

    Transfer the Clams in the Colander to Another Large Bowl of Fresh Water and Let Soak For 15 to 30 Minutes to Remove Excess Salt.

    5
    Done

    in a Wok or Large Pan, Melt the Coconut Oil Over Medium Heat. Add the Onion and Cook Until Translucent, 3 to 4 Minutes.

    6
    Done

    Firmly Whack the Lemongrass Stalks With a Wooden Spoon to Bruise Them, Which Helps Release Their Aroma and Flavor During Cooking. Trim the Ends, Then Slice the Stalks Into 4-Inch Pieces.

    7
    Done

    Add the Lemongrass to the Wok, Then Add the Ginger, Garlic, and Red Pepper Flakes. Cook Until Fragrant, About 3 Minutes.

    8
    Done

    Carefully Pour in the White Wine and Stir to Deglaze the Pan. Bring to a Simmer and Cook Until Reduced by Half, About 3 to 4 Minutes.

    9
    Done

    Add the Brown Sugar, Fish Sauce, Stock, and Coconut Milk and Bring to a Boil.
