Thai cuisine: Thai clams, the recipe.
Some time ago, while I was on vacation in Vietnam, my wife's homeland, we had lunch in a famous Thai restaurant (whose cuisine is also appreciated in Vietnam) and we tasted several dishes.
One of the many was this one with clams prepared in a very spicy sauce.

Ingredients:

– 1kg fresh clams;
– 2 tbsp coconut oil;
– 3 cloves garlic, minced;
– 1 red chilli, sliced ​​(optional);
– 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2cm), grated;
– 2 tbsp fish sauce;
– 1 tbsp brown sugar;
– 200ml coconut milk;
– Juice of 1 lime;
– 1 bunch fresh coriander, chopped;
– 2 spring onions, sliced;
– Thai basil leaves (optional).

Preparation:

Rinse the clams thoroughly under cold running water and soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes to remove any sand. Drain and rinse again.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, chili pepper and grated ginger and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the clams to the skillet and stir well. Pour in the fish sauce and brown sugar, stirring to combine.
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the clams have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
Add the lime juice, chopped cilantro and sliced ​​spring onions. Stir well and cook for another minute.
Transfer the clams to a serving dish, garnish with Thai basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately with jasmine rice or noodles.
