    Sorry, this didn't work for me. Unlike some reviewers, I actually followed the recipe to the letter, with the exception of Manila clams for Little Necks. I used Sapporo Beer. The flavor of the broth was rather distasteful because of the vinegar in there. Seemed to need something, maybe fish sauce, but I like to follow the recipe, the first time at least. With this one, there won't be a second time though. Wasted clams and beer...

    This recipe was extremely easy to make. I, too, substituted the kaffir leaves for the juice of 2 limes and their zest. I usually make 4 pounds for 2 people for a meal. I also toast sourdough bread to soak up the broth. The first few times I made this, I used a dark beer. I like Shiner Bock. Tonight, I used Kirin Ichiban. It's great. Both beers are excellent and produce about the same flavor. Use the Kirin for that authentic asian taste.
    Sometimes, I have forgotted to buy cilantro. The recipe is still good without it, but it is better with it. Dont worry if you forget it.
    One thing I did do wrong once, I over cooked the clams for just a minute. They still tasted good, but the clams had a rubbery texture to them. Yuck!
    Anyway, just try this recipe. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this one. After one try, you'll definitely want to make it part of your dinner repertoire!

    These clams were a great alternative to a buttery broth. I didin't have the lime leaves so I used some lime slices. Forgot the cilantro (now I will have to use it on something else bit it was still great! Nice, light, refreshing app that leaves you with room for dinner!

    My boyfriend made this as an appetizer for dinner last evening and it was perfect with the beautiful littleneck clams we have available here on Cape Cod.

    We would definitely make this again but make a larger portion. The beer broth is amazing. Like the other reviewer, we did not have kaffir lime leaves so we used the juice of 1/2 of one lime plus a bit of lime zest. Excellent!

    Anne Burrell did it again! These clams are EXTRAORDINARY!! They were quick and easy to make...just a little prep work. I did find dried birds eye chilis at the World Market...could not find Kaffir lime leaves. I did add the juice or half a lime along with the wine and the sauce was ingredible. I did not use Asian beer, used a a New Glarus beer, " Totally Naked." I HIGHLY recommend this recipe. My husband has asked me to make them again. They are a great appetizer to the pork tenderloin.
