Clams are a very nutritious whole food with a host of health benefits. They are a lean source of protein; are rich in minerals, vitamins, and Omega- 3 fatty acids; they promote sexual health; and have been found to possess cancer-preventing properties. Given the Black Bean Sauce is an essential condiment for anyone who loves making authentic Chinese food at home. The perfect balance between sweet and salty in the Stir-fry Clams with Black Bean Sauce (#豉椒炒蜆) is amazingly delicious, especially if you use a wok to finish the dish. Serve it by itself as an appetizer or with steamed rice as a complete entree. 

Pan frying the Radish cake (#lobakgou #臘味蘿蔔糕) gives it a crispy exterior, while the inside stays soft. When you bite into a piece, you’ll taste umami flavors from ingredients like dried scallops, dried shrimp, Chinese sausage or Chinese bacon. Radish cake is made of daikon (lo bak in Cantonese, "蘿蔔"), which is a long vegetable that looks like a bloated white carrot. “糕” can refer to many different foods in Chinese cuisine: sweet or savory batter that’s steamed into a solid cake, like lo bak go. This is a must-have in Chinese New Year.
