ยำหอยกระจง

Origin

Yam Hoi Khrang is an authentic coastal southern Thai dish, especially popular in areas rich in Hoi Khrang clams, such as Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat provinces. These clams are harvested from beaches or wet sandy areas and prepared into a salad to preserve their fresh, unique taste.

Characteristics and Flavor

Yam Hoi Khrang is a vibrant, refreshing salad. The fresh clams are crisp and mixed with a tangy, spicy-sweet dressing. It carries a fragrant scent from kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, and galangal. The flavor stands out with the sourness of lime, spiciness from bird’s eye chilies, sweetness from sugar, and richness from sesame oil—flavorful yet not heavy.

Ingredients

• 500 grams fresh Hoi Khrang clams
• 2 limes
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 5 bird’s eye chilies
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon torn kaffir lime leaves
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Serving Method

Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the clam’s crisp freshness. Serve alongside fresh herbs such as coriander, green onions, and sliced long beans.
