2 dozen top neck clams
1 teaspoon neutral oil (canola, vegetable, etc.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced lemongrass
4 Thai chilis, sliced
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari
1 tablespoon sugar
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon minced Thai basil
1 tablespoon minced cilantro

1
Start by cleaning and preparing the clams. The clams should be soaked in cold water and scrubbed to get rid of grit and sand. I find that when I leave them to soak for a while, they start to open up a bit and release more grit.
2
Place the clams on a hot grill with the lid closed for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they open. Carefully remove them from the grill to prevent from losing any delicious juices.
3
While the clams are going, prepare the sauce. Heat a saucepan with a little oil over medium heat. Add in the garlic, ginger, lemongrass, and chilis and cook until fragrant and the edges of the garlic are lightly golden.
4
Add the chicken stock, fish sauce, tamari, and sugar to the saucepan and cook until boiling.
5
Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze in the lime juice and stir in the minced herbs.
6
Carefully spoon the sauce onto the clams and serve immediately.
