Ingredients

  • 500 g Goolwa PipiCo Fresh Pipis
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chilli jam
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons salted soybeans
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock, or water
  • Pinch of ground white pepper
  • 2 cups Thai basil leaves
  • ½ cup spring onions, cut into 2.5 cm lengths
  • 1 long red chilli, thinly sliced

To Serve

  • Steamed jasmine rice

Method

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the chilli jam, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, salted soybeans, stock (or water) and white pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the Goolwa PipiCo Fresh Pipis, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for about 4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until the pipis have opened.
  4. Remove the lid and stir through the Thai basil, spring onions and sliced chilli. Toss gently until the herbs have just wilted.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required.
  6. Serve immediately with steamed jasmine rice.

Cook’s Tip: Thai basil should be added right at the end of cooking to preserve its fresh aroma. The salty soybeans provide plenty of seasoning, so taste the sauce before adding any extra salt.
