Secret Chef: Clams in hot basil

I felt like having a Thai theme dinner last night and it was a total success if I may say so myself. Now I sound like I'm bragging but I am pretty proud that I cooked Thai meal again, it's been awhile. This is a spicy meal so you can substitute hot chilli peppers for red bell peppers if that works better for you.

Recipes:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 bunch of fresh Thai basil
(Don't chop, pick out the leaves)
2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon nam prig pow
2 lbs Manila clams
(I used the frozen ones, saves time because it has been cleaned. You can get fresh one also, which will probably be better)
2 gloves garlic
3 teaspoons fish sauce
2 chilli peppers, crushed
(you can sub. red bell pepper for less spice)

Directions:

Slice chilli pepper lengthwise into thin strips.

Chop garlic and rinse out your clams and scrub if needed.

Heat wok or frying pan on high. Add vegetable oil, chilli pepper, and garlic.

Add clams right away and stir.

Clam juice will come out and when all clams are open, add in fish sauce, sugar, and nam prig pow. Mix together for a minute.

Add basil and stir in for 30 seconds and serve. Remove from heat. Serve with hot white rice.

Bonus recipe: Thai ice tea
1 tablespoon condense milk
2 tablespoon sugar
1 lipton tea bag

Prepare tea as directed on the box.

Put sugar and condense milk in glass. Pour hot tea in half way.

Mix all together and add other half cold water.

Mix all together and enjoy.

You can also add ice for a chill and hot cold taste.
