Recipe 🍳

Add a little cooking oil to a frying pan and stir-fry finely diced potatoes, bacon, and pre-cooked clam meat together.
When the bacon fat renders and the potato surfaces become translucent, carefully pour the measured cold water into the pan.
Add one packet of store-bought cream soup powder and a small amount of clam dashida for flavor.
Stir well with a whisk or spatula, making sure to scrape the bottom, until the soup powder is completely dissolved without lumps.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring constantly to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom, until it thickens to the desired consistency.
Pour the finished clam chowder into soup bowls, sprinkle black pepper and parsley powder on top, and enjoy warm.

Add diced potatoes, bacon, and clam meat to a pan and stir-fry in oil to release aroma.
Pour in water, add cream soup powder and clam dashida, and stir to dissolve without lumps.
Stir steadily to prevent burning, simmer until thickened, then sprinkle with black pepper and parsley to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

Using pre-shelled cooked clam meat or canned clam meat dramatically reduces prep time without the hassle of shelling.
Adding soup powder to hot water easily causes lumps, so it's cleaner to add it to cold or lukewarm water and stir.
Depending on preference, you can add diced onion or bread croutons for a sweeter, more filling breakfast option.
