My mother-in-law taught me how to cook this dish. My husband and daughter both love seafood, and this dish is a particular favorite. On cleaning the clams, rinse with cold water and brush shells to remove dirt. Soak in salt water for a few minutes.
Cooking this dish is really very simple, just heat the wok, saute garlic and ginger. Drop in the clams, cover for a few minutes. The clams are done when the shells have opened. Drop in fresh basil leaves. I usually dish out those with opened shells first to pervent the clam meat from getting overcooked as this can get tough. A frined of mine cooks this dish with wine and a litlle soy sauce. You can also add chilli peppers for a spicy twist.
