Ingredients

  • 5tablespoonsvegetable oil
  • 5clovesgarlic, minced
  • 2poundssmall clams, thoroughly cleaned
  • 3tablespoonsNam Prik Pao (roasted chile paste)
  • 3tablespoonsfish sauce (Optional)
  • 3Chee Fah chiles (mild red chiles)
  • 1tablespoonwhite sugar
  • 1cupBai Kraprao (holy basil leaves), or to taste

  • Directions

    Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan or wok over high heat; add the oil and wait 1 minute more. Mix garlic into the hot oil and cook until it just turns golden brown, about 1 minute. Add clams and chile paste; stir until clams are coated.

    Stir fish sauce, chiles, and sugar into clams; cook and stir until the clams have opened, 5 to 10 minutes.

    Mix basil into clam mixture and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.



    Cook's Note:

    Assess the amount of clams in comparison to the size of your largest heavy-bottomed pan or wok. The clams should have ample space, so if your pan seems too small, split the amounts in half and fry in 2 rounds. I will give instructions for the whole recipe at once.
