Steps:
- Pick through the clams and discard any that are open and do not close when firmly tapped-these clams are dead and should not be eaten. Add the rest to a colander.
- Rinse and scrub the remaining live clams to remove any sand or barnacles from the shells.
- Fill a bowl large enough to fit the colander with cold water and 3-4 tablespoons of salt for every 6 cups (1.5 liters) of water. Place the colander in the bowl of salt water and soak the clams for at least 1 hour, up to overnight, so they release any grit and sand. The colander allows the grit to fall to the bottom of the bowl. Live clams will filter the water while they push out any impurities in the process.
- Transfer the clams in the colander to another large bowl of fresh water to desalt for 15-30 minutes.
- Grill the bread: Slice the sourdough baguette into ½-inch (1 cm) pieces.
- Brush each slice with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Toast the bread on a grill pan over medium-high heat until golden brown and crusty, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Make the coconut broth: Melt the coconut oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and cook until it starts to become translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Firmly tap the lemongrass stalks with a wooden spoon to bruise, which helps release aroma and flavor during cooking. Trim the ends, then slice into approximately 4-inch (10 cm) pieces.
- Add the lemongrass to the wok, along with the ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Carefully pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the brown sugar, fish sauce, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil.
- Add the clams, return to a boil, and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until all of the clams are fully opened. If any clams remain closed, discard them.
- Discard the lemongrass stalks and divide the clams and broth between serving bowls. Garnish with scallions and cilantro and serve with the grilled bread for dipping.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Using the sauté function, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the shallots and sauté until they are soft and browned at the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel the outer layers from the lemongrass stalk and smash the inner core with the side of a heavy knife to bruise it (this helps release the flavor). Finely chop the core.
- Add the lemongrass to the pot along with the stock, ginger, jalapeños, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, and then bring the sauce up to a simmer, and simmer for 1 minute. Stir in the coconut milk and simmer until it has reduced by a third and is beginning to thicken, 5 minutes.
- Add the clams, cover, and cook on low pressure for 1 minute. Release the pressure manually. Discard any clams that didn't open. Taste the sauce, and season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the clams in bowls, spooning some broth over them and garnishing with the scallion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
Tips:
- Use fresh clams: Fresh clams have a briny, sweet flavor that is perfect for this dish. If you can't find fresh clams, you can use frozen clams, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Choose a good quality coconut broth: The coconut broth is the base of this dish, so it's important to choose a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real coconut milk and has a rich, creamy flavor.
- Don't overcook the clams: Clams are delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook them just until they are opaque and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This dish is delicious served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Coconut broth clams are a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The clams are cooked in a flavorful broth made with coconut milk, ginger, and lemongrass. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
