Method

1. Put the clams in a bowl of cold salted water for 30 minutes so they spit out any sand; then drain and rinse them, discarding any broken ones.
2. Meanwhile, soak the rice noodles in hot water for 8 minutes, until soft, and drain. Peel and slice the garlic and slice the spring onion into rounds.
3. Heat the oil with the garlic in a wide frying pan over medium heat for 1 minute, until fragrant; add the clams and sake, turn the heat to high, cover and cook for 4 minutes, until they open. Discard any that stay closed.
4. Add the butter, drained noodles and chilli powder and toss for 1 minute in the juices, until the butter has melted and the noodles are glossy.
5. Finish with the spring onion and serve straight away.
