Has anyone ever heard of a thai dish called pad prig?

There is this awesome thai restaurant in san antonio, tx that makes this dish and I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. It has bamboo shoots, your choice of meat, onions and this awesome sauce. Not sure what kind of sauce it is, maybe a fish sauce....?



Anyone ever heard of it or know of a recipe?Has anyone ever heard of a thai dish called pad prig?
I have come across this.

Hoy Pad Prig

Clams in Hot Basil



1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 bunch Thai basil, picked

2 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon nam prig pow

2 pounds Manila clams

2 cloves garlic

3 teaspoons fish sauce

2 chili peppers, crushed



Slice the chili pepper lengthwise into thin strips. You can also substitute red bell pepper, if you don't like it hot. Rinse and scrub the clams if needed; let them drain. Add a tablespoon of oil to a wok over high heat. Add garlic and chili pepper. Immediately add clams and stir. The clam juice will start to come out. Stir until all the clams open. Add fish sauce, nam prig pow and sugar and stir to mix the seasonings in. Add Thai basil. Stir and quickly remove from heat. Serve hot. 2 to 3 servings.Has anyone ever heard of a thai dish called pad prig?
