Side Notes:

§ We didn’t add in any other seasoning like salt or vegetarian mushroom powder to the dish, as the lala clams come with a tad of salty taste. But feel free to add a pinch of salt in OR may consider using vegetarian mushroom seasoning.

§ Also, regarding the chardonnay, if you don’t like it with chardonnay. Feel free to add in Chinese cooking wine/ ShaoXing wine.
