So Delicious! How To Make Shijimi Clam Miso Soup
- 300 grams Shijimi clams + salt
- 3 tbsp Miso (white miso preferred)
- 1 tbsp Dashi stock powder
- Even if you get de-sanded cleaned clams, de-sand them again so that they spit out any old digested material by soaking them in lightly salted water for 2 to 3 hours.
- Procedure for de-sanding: Immerse a colander or sieve in a large bowl, and put the clams in.
- Fill with salted water.
- This way the clams won't re-absorb any sand or other things they spit out.
- Put the soaked and cleaned clams in a pot with cold water and heat.
- After a while some scum will rise to the surface.
- Skim that off and add the dashi stock granules.
- Don't overcook the clams.
- Add the miso, but taste the liquid in the pot first to see how salty it is.
- White miso is preferred.
- Don't let the soup come to a boil after adding the miso.
- Top with some chopped green onions, and enjoy!
