Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dried Chinese wheat noodles or tagliatelle
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for tossing
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine or dry sherry
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Chinese oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large scallion, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
- 2 pounds littleneck clams or cockles, scrubbed
- 2 cups tightly packed, coarsely chopped bok choy leaves (from 1 medium head)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the noodles until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Toss the noodles with a little vegetable oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the chicken stock with the rice wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, sugar and sesame oil.
- In a wok, heat the 1 1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok until shimmering. Add the garlic, scallion, ginger, black beans and crushed red pepper and stir-fry over high heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the red bell pepper and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the clams and stir-fry over moderate heat until most of them have opened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the coarsely chopped bok choy and stir-fry until wilted. Stir the sauce and add it to the wok. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the sauce thickens and all the clams are opened, about 1 minute; discard any clams that don't open. Add the noodles and toss well. Transfer to bowls and serve right away.
