Instructions
- Make the dressing by mixing all ingredients in one small pot. Cook until boiled then simmer on a low heat, stir until sugar dissolves. Filter the mixture for a clear liquid.
- Boil and drain the clams. Wash and finely dice the coriander and mint leaves. Unpeel the dried onion and fresh onion, chop and keep the white part of the lemongrass, then slice thinly.
- Combine and toss the dressing and salad ingredients (except the clams).
- Serve the mixture on a plate then add clams and mix once more. Decorate with some of the clam shells. The salad should taste sour, hot, and sweet.
