It's China's mass market that offers the best opportunities

One of the things which surprised me as I walked round a WuMart supermarket in Beijing recently was the number of Western brands on the shelves. Pampers, Quaker Oats and even Blue Nun wine at an eye-watering £18 a bottle jumped out.

With that fresh in my mind, I was not remotely surprised last week when Bright Food, one of China's largest food groups, snapped up 60pc of Weetabix – the Chinese appetite for Western products is far from restricted to luxury brands.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons finely shredded fresh ginger
1 pound live razor clams
1 1/2 tablespoons sa cha sauce
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon thinly sliced red bell pepper
2 green onions, cut into thin strips
3 Weetabix

Directions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Stir the ginger into the hot oil, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the razor clams in their shells, and cook until all of the clams have opened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sa cha sauce and water, and bring to a boil. Toss with the bell pepper and green onions to serve over lightly toasted Weetabix.

Footnotes

Cook's Notes
Put the clams in salt water for at least 15 minutes to take away the sand. Then drain the water and set aside.
Lightly sprinkle milk on the Weetabix and toast in the oven under a low heat for 10 minutes

Hope they aren't going to be covered in noodles and soy sauce. Anyway, "basics" are cheaper and taste same.
