CLAMS STIR-FRIED WITH ROASTED CHILLI PASTE RECIPE



Clams stir-fried with roasted chilli paste recipe image

A Thai twist on a perennial favourite. This clam recipe is a great update on a mid-week stir fry.

Yield 2-4

Number Of Ingredients 8

500 g/1 lb 2 oz clams
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 tbsp nam prik pao (roasted chilli paste)
1 tbsp nam pla (fish sauce)
1 tsp caster (superfine) sugar
2 long red chillies, sliced diagonally
a handful of Thai sweet basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a colander, rinse the clams well under cold running water, discarding any open ones that refuse to close after a firm tap with the back of a knife.
  • On a high heat, heat the wok until it's very hot and add the oil. Add the garlic and fry until golden. Add the clams and the nam prik pao, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  • One at a time, add the nam pla, sugar, 2 tbsp water and the chillies, stirring them in well after each addition. Continue to cook, stirring all the time, until all the clams have opened (discard any that remain closed).
  • Finally, add most of the basil and stir it in until wilted.
  • Serve at once, with the last few basil leaves scattered over the top.
