Separate the large outer leaves from the inner stalks so they are all relatively the same size. Par any particularly thick stalks with a knife.
Heat peanut oil in a large wok set over high heat. When the wok is hot add the green onions, garlic, ginger and chiles. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the clams and stir fry, uncovered about 3 minutes.
Add the vermouth and cover the wok. Cook until clams open, about 3 minutes. Carefully remove all the clams to a large serving plate and discard any that do not open.
Add the sesame oil to the wok.
Drain the noodles and add them along with 1 cup water to the hot wok, shaking the pan to get them well-coated in the liquid.
Lay the cleaned and prepped Chinese broccoli on top. Cover the wok and cook until the broccoli begins to wilt, about 3 minutes.

Add the sausage, shaking the wok until it is just heated through and well incorporated into the noodles.
Pour the noodles and all the liquid onto the serving tray.
Garnish with chopped mint and season with Asian fish sauce.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Muscadet, Riesling
Clams works really well with Chardonnay, Muscadet, and Riesling. Buttery chardonnay is great for scallops, shrimp, crab, and lobster, while muscadet is a classic pick for mussels, oysters, and clams. If you've got some spice in your shellfish, a semi-dry riesling can balance out the heat. One wine you could try is 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 28 dollars.
