Recipe Makes for 4-6 Servings:

1 pound chopped clams, with liquid if possible

1 egg, lightly beaten

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

½ cup chopped scallion

1 small fresh chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced, or about 1 teaspoon cayenne or hot red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon baking soda

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons flour, or more as needed

Corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil for frying

Directions:

Mix together the clams, their liquid or ¼ cup water, the egg, cilantro, scallion, chile, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Add just enough flour to bind the mixture and form a stiff batter; start with 2 tablespoons and use more if you need it.

Preheat a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes, coat the bottom with oil, and heat for another minute. Drop the batter by spoonfuls into the skillet and smooth out the batter to make flat cakes. Do not overcrowd. 

Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Drain on paper towels and serve with Soy Dipping Sauce.
