Instructions to make Clear Soup with Manila Clams:
- Soak the Manila clams in salt water (not listed) so that they spit out the sand. Rub the shells together to wash, and drain into a colander.
- Wipe any dirt off the kombu with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel.
- Put the ● ingredients and the clams in a pan and start cooking over medium heat. Take the kombu out just before it comes to a boil.
- When the clams have opened up, skim off the scum, taste and adjust the seasoning with usukuchi soy sauce and salt.
- Put the clams into serving bowls and ladle the soup over them. Top with mitsuba and serve.
You can use any salty (not sweet) miso, red or white, for this soup; this recipe recommends shinshu miso, which is a pale salty miso. I love clams so the more clams in the miso soup, the better the taste. The soup is finished by adding fresh baby spinach and some red pepper flakes to have a bit of kick to it. If you want the taste of clams to stand out, I suggest that you use clam juice to give it a boost. You can either use plain clam juice, which are usually sold in bottles, or you can buy the canned chopped.
