Experiment: Miso Soup with Clams
Introduction:
I have always liked seafood, especially clams. I always see Japanese soup with clams in it, but I had never tried to make it. Since clams is on sale, so I decided to buy 1/2 pound and make this miso soup.
Material: (serve 2)
2 tbs Miso paste
2 cups of water
1/2 lb clams (I bought 8 clams)
2 tbs chopped green onion
Procedure:
1) Soak the clams in water for 30min – 1 hour. Rub the clams against each other.
2) Boil the water. Put the miso paste into the water, and dissolve it.
3) When the miso paste is well dissolved into the water, put the clams in. When the clams open, put the chopped green onion in. It’s ready!
Discussion:
1) I didn’t take many pictures coz I was being lazy…
2) It’s pretty easy to make… the only trouble is to get fresh clams… I usually do grocery shopping once a week… which means I can only have it once a week at most… acutally, can you put the clams in the fridge? Not sure if it’s ok…
Clams can last a few days. When you take them home, keep the bag open so they won't suffocate. Then keep them wrapped in moist newspaper. Don't use regular table salt and water; the iodine is not good for them.
