Step 1
Cook the 8 oz noodles in boiling water until just tender, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, puree the 3 shallots, 3 garlic cloves, and 2 red chili peppers with a splash of water to make a smooth paste.
Step 3
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium. Add the spice paste and 1 lemongrass stalk (bruised), cook until fragrant and the oil separates, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the 1 lb clams and 1/2 cup water. Cover and steam until the clams open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any that stay closed.
Step 5
Add the cooked noodles to the pot, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.
Step 6
Serve hot, garnished with the 2 sliced green onions and extra chili oil if desired.
