1. Wash and scrub the clams. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds, add the shallots and fry for a further minute.
2. Add the clams. Using a fish slice or spatula, turn them a few times to coat with the oil. Add the yellow bean sauce and half the red chillies.
3. Continue to cook, stirring often, until all the clams open, about 5 - 7 minutes. You may need to add a splash of water. Adjust the seasoning with fish sauce and a little sugar.
4. Finally add the basil and transfer to individual bowls or a platter. Garnish with the remaining red chillies and basil leaves.
