Method

  1. 1 Soak razor clams in lightly salted water for 2 hours to remove all the sand.
  2. 2 Soak for a full two hours to remove all the sand; skipping this step will render the dish inedible.
  3. 3 Soak the vermicelli in warm water until soft, then cut it into shorter pieces and arrange them at the bottom of the plate.
  4. 4 Arrange the clams in a row on the vermicelli so that the sweet juices can drain down onto the vermicelli.
  5. 5 Sauté minced garlic and chili peppers in hot oil, then pour the mixture over each clam.
  6. 6 Steam over high heat for 6 minutes, then drizzle with soy sauce mixed with rice wine and sugar, and chopped scallions.

With an appliance

    Step 6: Lightly cover the clams on the plate and microwave at 800W for 3 minutes, rotating the plate at 1 minute 30 seconds and discarding any clams that do not open. Then drizzle with soy sauce and green onions.
