Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never cook fresh noodles directly in the broth, as surface starch from flour quickly makes the liquid cloudy and heavy. Always cook noodles separately and rinse them to ensure a clear, refreshing broth.
  • Concentrated clam stock is extremely salty on its own, so mixing in cold-brewed kelp water instead of plain water is key to achieving a balanced, smooth umami flavor.
  • The final clam porridge delivers exceptional depth—thanks to the umami-rich nucleic acids from clams infusing deep into the rice, surpassing even premium abalone or chicken porridge in richness.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a refreshingly clear, stomach-clearing clam kalguksu free of any floury heaviness.
  • Anyone wanting a complete dining experience—from hearty hot kalguksu to a satisfying, richly flavored clam egg porridge at the end.
