Preparation

  1. Hến xào

    • Thoroughly wash the fresh baby clams and lemongrass. Finely mince the fresh ingredients individually and set them aside. Weigh the seasonings, coconut cream, water, and desiccated coconut, then combine them in a mixing bowl.
    • Heat cooking oil in a pan and sauté the minced shallots, garlic, and lemongrass until fragrant. Add the minced onions and sauté, then toss in the Vietnamese coriander (rau răm) to release its aroma.
    • Add the baby clams to the pan, season to taste, and stir-fry evenly.
    • Mix in the desiccated coconut to add richness, then finally add the minced calamansi, gelatin, water, diced shallots, and coconut cream, stirring well to combine. Transfer the filling onto a tray and flatten it evenly to match the reference sample.

    • Transfer the sauce into a vacuum pouch, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator until ready for service.
