The Best Way to Prepare Delicious Sour Clam Soup for the Family
Step 1: Clean the Live Clams
- To achieve the best flavor for clam soup, we must select clams with minimal sand. Soak the clams in a bowl of rice water or cold water with a few slices of spicy chili peppers for about 60 minutes to allow them to expel any sand and impurities from their mouths.
Step 2: Prepare the Fresh Basil with Seasonings
- Clean the fresh basil, remove any tough parts, then wash thoroughly. Cut into short pieces about 4 cm in length.
- Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly, then slice them into small wedges. Peel the red onions, slice thinly.
- Wash the scallions and cut them into short pieces about 3 cm long.
- Trim the edges of the sour star fruit, then wash and drain. Slice thinly horizontally across the fruit.
Step 3: Executing the Cooking Process for Sour Clam Soup
- After soaking the clams thoroughly, remove and rinse them with clean water once again. Then, place the clams in a pot and add enough water to cover them completely.
- Boil the clams over high heat, and as soon as they open their mouths and the water starts boiling, turn off the heat immediately, remove the clams from the pot, and transfer the clam broth to a separate bowl. Remove the clam meat from the shells and set aside in a separate dish.
- Place the pot of boiled clams back on the stove, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and heat. Once the oil is hot, add sliced dried shallots and sauté until fragrant. Then, add tomatoes and stir-fry until soft. Next, add sliced sour star fruit, followed by the clam meat and season with table salt, bouillon powder, and sliced chili peppers. Stir well. Finally, pour in the clam broth and bring to a boil. Add sliced basil leaves, stir gently, then turn off the heat.
