A clear and refreshing clam soup simmered with a small amount of doenjang and finely minced garlic, strained for a clean finish
Ingredients needed 2 servings
Recipe
Cooking tips
- Always start cooking clams with cold water to prevent the meat from toughening due to contraction.
- Using just a tiny amount of doenjang (1/4 teaspoon) enhances the broth’s umami and depth without making it taste like regular doenjang stew.
- Never add minced garlic directly to the broth—this makes it cloudy and heavy. Straining it through a sieve to extract only the essence is key to achieving a clear, clean broth.
- Do not overcook clams, as they become tough. Limit total cooking time to about 3 minutes.
Recommended for
- Those seeking a refreshing and clean hangover soup that clears the stomach after drinking alcohol.
- People who want to enjoy the rich, clear flavor of shellfish broth in just about 5 minutes of cooking.
- Fans of transparent, non-cloudy soups with deep umami richness and clarity.
