Spicy clams cooked with chile oil and fragrant Thai basil for a delicious and simple dish.
Ingredients:

Instructions:
- 1. Preheat a large heavy-bottomed pan or wok over high heat, then add the oil and wait for 1 minute. 2. Sauté garlic in the hot oil until it turns golden brown, which takes about 1 minute. 3. Add clams and chile paste, stirring until clams are well coated.
