Cooking tips

Since no oil is used at all, you can enjoy the clean and refreshing taste of the seafood and vegetables themselves.
It's best to use whole clams with shells rather than just the meat, as the shells add much more depth to the broth.
If you want to recreate the original old-style taste, you can simply season with salt and MSG instead of chicken stock for a milder flavor.
