Stir fried clam. Clam is a type of sea creature with shell. They are popular for their chewy texture and salty ocean taste. However, clams are very nutrient and containing many vitamins and minerals. Clams are low in fat and contain a lot of protein and iron. Despite they are nutrient dense, not everyone like eating clams. My son and daughter are among them. They told me they don’t like the chewy texture feeling. Today, I am sharing a simple stir fried clam dish, which simple and yet delicious. If you really enjoy and liked eating clams and mussel, you got to try this dish! Enjoy! 🙂
