INSTRUCTIONS

 Gather all the ingredients.

As soon as you purchase the clams, you must de-grit them following my tutorial. Start this process 1 hour prior to cooking.

To Prepare Clam Miso Soup

In a medium pot, put the clean clams, 2 cups (480 ml) water, and kombu and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

When boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low.

Skim off the scum using a fine-mesh skimmer. Tip: Prepare a cup/bowl of water and dip the skimmer in the water to clean.

When all the clams opened up, turn off the heat immediately and do not overcook it. Remove and discard the kombu.

Use a ladle and dissolve 2 Tbsp miso. Each brand of miso has different saltiness so adjust the miso soup by adding more water or adding more miso (add a small amount at a time).

Serve miso soup in individual soup bowls and sprinkle chopped scallion. When you need to reheat the soup, make sure you DO NOT BOIL miso soup because it will lose the flavor. Enjoy!
