Thai Clam Hot Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft and browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel the outer layers from the lemongrass stalk and smash the inner core with the side of a heavy knife to bruise it (this helps release the flavor). Finely chop the core.
• Add the lemongrass to the pot along with the stock, ginger, jalapeños, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, and then bring the sauce up to a simmer, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer until it has reduced by a third and is beginning to thicken, 5 minutes.
• Add the clams, cover, and cook on low pressure for 1 minute. Release the pressure manually. Discard any clams that didn't open. Taste the sauce, and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the clams in bowls, spooning some broth over them and garnishing with the scallion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Stir in noodles; remove from heat. Let stand until noodles soften, 7 to 10 minutes; drain. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook shallots, garlic and onion until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add stock, juice from tomatoes, coconut milk, vinegar, fish sauce, lime zest, chiles, sugar and lemongrass. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add cilantro and basil; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 minutes. Remove garlic, cilantro and basil from pot; add tomatoes and mushrooms. Return to a simmer. Add shrimp and scallops; cook 2 minutes. Add calamari and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Divide noodles among 4 bowls; top with broth and seafood; garnish with remaining basil and cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add lemongrass, galangal, ginger, chiles, lime leaves, sugar and fish sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add coconut milk, then taste broth for salt and adjust. (You may prepare up to this point 1 to 2 hours in advance and leave at room temperature.)
• Bring mixture to a boil over high heat and add clams. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until all clams have opened.
• Transfer clams to soup bowls. Strain broth if desired and ladle over clams. Sprinkle with cilantro and scallions. Squeeze lime over each bowl and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Boil somen noodles in 12 cups of water. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Heat heavy pot(big enough to hold the clams) over high heat.
• Add peanut oil. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and green onions and cook for 15 seconds.
• Add 1 cup rice wine to 1 cup water and stir.
• Add wine mixture to pot, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Add clams, cover, and return to a boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook until clams open (about 7-8 minutes) and be certain to shake pot occasionally to insure clams cook evenly.
• Add basil to liquid and cook for about 45 seconds.
• Then add fish sauce and stir thoroughly.
• Divide noodles among 6 individual bowls, add clams, and then pour broth over it.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat peanut oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and red bell pepper; saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add ginger and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in red chile paste and coconut milk. Add the clams and simmer until flavors combine, 3 to 5 minutes. If curry appears too thick, stir in chicken broth.
• Finely grate zest from the lime. Stir half of the zest into the curry along with fish sauce and brown sugar. Squeeze some lime juice into the curry. Stir in half of the basil and shrimp; simmer curry until shrimp are opaque and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Thin the curry with more chicken broth if needed.
• Scoop clams out of the curry, draining their juice back into the saucepan, and discard. Mix in remaining lime zest and basil before serving.

Steps:

• Heat a heavy pot (or Wok) over a high heat until hot.
• Add 2 Tablespoons peanut oil. Swirl oil until very hot but not smoking.
• Add the garlic, scallions, and red pepper flakes. Stir for about 15 seconds.
• Standing back, add the wine mixture, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Add the clams, cover, and return the liquid to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat to medium and cook until the clams have just opened, 7 to 8 minutes, shaking the pot 3 or 4 times to ensure that the clams cook evenly.
• Add the basil and stir it thoroughly into the liquid. Cover and cook for 30 to 45 seconds.
• Add the fish sauce and stir thoroughly.
• Serve immediately over rice noodles (Soba) or white rice.
