Authentic Thai Recipe for Clams in Roasted Chili Sauce

Ingredients

• 400 Grams Sea Clams
• 1 Cup Thai Sweet Basil
• 3 - 4 Thai Long Chilies
• 3 large cloves Garlic
• 2 Tablespoons Thai Roasted Chili Sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
• 2 teaspoons Light Soy Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar

Steps

1. 1

   In a big wok or frying pan, heat 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and cook just long enough to start frying a little.

2. 2

   Add the clams and stir into the garlic. Cook them, turning over often, until the shells start to pop open, or about 2 - 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add nam prik pao, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir in well and let the sugar melt and blend into a nice sticky coating on the clams.

4. 4

   Add a small amount of water. Stir well to loosen up the seasonings and make a nice sauce. When the sauce is smooth and bubbling, add sweet red chili.

5. 5

   Turn off the heat and add Horapah basil. Toss in well and serve.
