Sea Asparagus Cold Salad

Bro and Sil brought a can of Sea Asparagus for Mom, but she did not know how to cook it. Bro suggested that Mom served it in a cold salad.

Well, the label on the can says "Sea Asparagus", but in fact it's a sort of a razor clam. Mom blanched the clam and then sliced it.

After that, she concocted a delicious sauce to toss the clams in. In the sauce were garlic, shallots, ginger, chilli, coriander, sugar, chilli sauce, tomato sauce, vinegar, light soy sauce, sesame oil, and Shao Tsing wine.

The sauce was sweet and sour, and very refreshing with the taste of the aromatics. It went really well with the tender yet chewy clams. We liked it lots and urged Mom to make more!
