Aromatic Spicy Stir Fried Cockles 香辣炒鮮蚶



Friday is here again and where has the week gone to? If you are also playing hide and seek with time, this simple delicious stir fry might be what you are after.

I recently cooked for a dinner party hosted by my friend M and this is an extra dish I cooked using the hostess' recipe. A typical contemporary Malaysian dish that has ingredients sourced from different cultures and to me this is fusion food at its best.

P.S If you are unable to find cockles; pipis, clams or mussels will work equally well too.



serves 4 to 6 as part of a Malaysian or Chinese meal
you'll need;
1.5 kg of cockles, soaked in water for 30 minutes and cleaned well
4 shallots, sliced
6 cloves of garlic, sliced
3 large red chillies, sliced
2 lemon grass (white parts only), sliced finely
3 sprigs of curry leaves
5 tbs of oyster sauce
3 tbs of light soy
2 tbs of sugar
a dash of Chinese cooking wine
a dash of white pepper




Prepare the shallots, garlic, chillies and lemongrass.



Heat up a wok till smoking then saute shallots and garlic for 1 to 2 minutes with some cooking oil.



Add chillies, curry leaves and lemongrass and continue to stir fry for a minute or two.



Add cockles to the wok and mix well, in go the seasonings and stir fry on high heat for another minute. Make sure the cockles are not overcooked or they will turn out tough and rubbery.



Serve as part of a Malaysian or Chinese meal.

  7. From Despair to Triumph: How SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY Helped Me Recover $300K in Bitcoin

    In the depths of what felt like my darkest hour, I’m thrilled to finally share a story I never thought I’d be able to tell—a story of loss, hope, and a miraculous recovery that still feels surreal.

    I had accidentally sent $300,000 worth of Bitcoin to a wrong wallet address. One small mistake… and just like that, my entire savings vanished into the blockchain abyss. Panic set in. Sleepless nights followed. I thought it was gone forever.

    But just when I was ready to give up, a glimmer of hope appeared. My uncle, a tech savvy and calm under pressure recommended I reach out to SPYHOST CYBERSECURITY COMPANY. At first, I was skeptical. I’d heard horror stories about crypto recovery scams. But after researching their background and seeing real success stories, I decided to take a leap of faith.

    And that leap changed everything.

    The team at SPYHOST moved swiftly and professionally, guiding me through every step. Within a short time, they had done what I thought was impossible: They recovered every single satoshi of my lost Bitcoin.

    I was stunned. Grateful beyond words. And above all, reminded that not all hope is lost—even in the wild world of crypto.

    If you're facing a similar nightmare—don’t give up. Don’t panic. And most importantly, don’t trust just anyone. But if you're looking for real help from a team that delivers, I strongly recommend contacting SPYHOST directly via [Spyhost@cyberdude.com]

    Your story doesn’t have to end in loss. Sometimes, the right help can turn a crisis into a comeback.
