Thai Chili Paste With Sweet Basil Leaves

Add to cart7oz - $5.89

A fragrant, all natural, delicious mix of spicy Thai chili peppers and sweet basil leaves. The chiles have high heat, so just a tablespoon will really make you sweat, but the heat is balanced by the rich aroma of sweet basil. Use sparingly for lower heat.

We used this to prepare a delicious sweet basil clams, see pictures below.
1/ Start by putting some chopped ginger and garlic in a pan with abput two tablespoons vegetable oil over medium/high heat.
2/ Place 1.5 pounds of clams into hot tap water and rinse with your hands to clean off.
3/ Put clams into the pan, and stir, then add one heaping spoonful of Chilli Paste with Sweet Basil Leaves. Stir fry until clams open. Add 1/4 cup coconut milk and stir for a bit more to mix well.
4/ Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve alone, or with steamed Thai Jasmine Rice

You can also spoon this out of the jar into any vegetable or meat stir-fry to create a simple, authentic Thai meal.
