Last week I got some Thai basil from my Thai friend. She grows various kinds of Thai vegetables such as coriander, Thai basil, Yardlong beans, and chili. We had dinner together, It is called Thai Esan hot pot that the main ingredient is Thai basil. This was a good meal for us after we don't see a long time. She gave some Thai Basil to me. This post I would like to make stir clams with Thai basil and share a recipe with you.
Serves: 1-2 people
Preparation Method
Ingredients
1.Manila clams 200 grams
2.Thai basil, 1-2 branches
3.Oyster sauce 1 1/2 tablespoon
4.Soybeans sauce 1 tablespoon
5.Sliced chili, 2-3
6.Chopped garlic, 2 pieces
7.Water 30 ml
8.Vegetable oil 1 teaspoon
Directions for making stir clams with Thai basil
1.Boil Manila clams over high heat about 2-3 minutes or until they are opened. Wash them by water for getting rid of the sand. Keep them in a bowl.
2.Put vegetable oil in the frying pan and heat the pan over high heat until it gets to 200 celsius. Add chopped garlic and sliced chili and stir them.
3.Add Manila clam, oyster sauce, soybean sauce and stir them together. Put water because sometimes the mixtures are too sticky.
4.Add Thai basil and stir it quickly.
5.Serve on the with rice.
Some recipe adds Thai Roasted Chili Sauce (Nam Prik Pao) so the taste will be spicier. You can stir clams without boiling but it might take time. Don't boil the clams too long because clams meat will shrink.
