Preparation / Directions:


Over a high flame, heat the butter and oil together in a large heavy pan or wok with a tight fitting lid. Add the onions and fresh chiles and sauté until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the next 9 ingredients and toss the onions and chiles for about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the sugar and salt to taste. Add the clams and cover with a tight fitting lid. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes or until the clams open. With a slotted spoon, remove the clams to a deep serving dish. Turn up the flame and, stirring briskly, cook the juices in the pan for about 1 minute. Pour over the clams.
