I have always fancied Manila clams as a soup simmered in ginger. But there are certainly more ways than one when it comes to cooking this delicious shellfish. Like the Malaysian Kam Heong. My version of this recipe involves cooking the clams in a prepared brown sauce consisting of oyster sauce, black bean sauce (which I substituted for soybean paste), curry powder, sugar and cooking wine. And what better way to serve this dish than with some creamy basil rice which is cooked exactly like steamed white rice with the addition of a couple of tablespoons of cream basil available at specialty grocery stores like Whole Foods.
