I got lucky to find clams in our local seafood market. These clams are usually sold out by dawn and I only get to go to the market at late morning. I got really really lucky this time - just in time for lunch!

I tried to imitate a dish I had at a Japanese restaurant.Adjust the broth with soy sauce and salt to taste. I recommend a moderate amount of soy sauce, or else the broth will become too dark. Recipe by yukasuke39

I made this for my daughter's weaning ceremony. My mother taught me how to make this. It was the first time for me to make a clear soup with clams. It's been a while since I made soup from scratch.In Step 3, the clams will harden so make sure you take them out of the pan when they have opened up. Recipe by kannak0930

For my son's weaning ceremony.I wanted to make an elegant clear soup.Use a colander when rinsing the sand from the clams to prevent the sand from being sucked back in.There's no need to add light soy sauce. You'll taste the umami of the kombu and clam broth. Recipe by YUKI0611

I made this for Girl's Day (Hinamatsuri, March 3rd) using Manila clams instead of the usual surf clams.The flavor will differ depending on the clams. Adjust the seasoning at the end with salt.You can make this with soy sauce, but it'll color the soup. Osuimono should be made with usukuchi soy sauce. Recipe by Parufe

This is one of my family’s favorite soups. The sweetness of clam, the sourness of pineapples, tomatoes, and pickled pig’s ears together with the aroma of laksa leaves, rice paddy herbs are not only healthy but also colorful ^_^ (Contributed by Heina Phuong)

Clams produce a great broth with a lot of flavor.You should definitely add sake since it reduces any unpleasant odor while improving the flavor as a whole. Although I usually add dashi stock into my miso soup, I don't use it for this particular recipe since the clams give out plenty of nice flavor. Still, feel free to go ahead and add some dashi stock if you'd like. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru

I received a lot of Manila clams as a gift. They're delicious steamed in sake or in pasta, but I was wondering if I could cook them in another way.Use clams that have been de-sanded and de-salted. Be sure not to let the garlic burn! Once the milk is added, don't let it boil! You can try making this with soy milk. Try adding vegetables and so on to come up with your own variations, as other COOKPAD users have. Recipe by bobitin

I love pasta so I enjoy cooking different kinds of whatever comes to my mind.This is my favorite and our family's longest staple dish.* The clams get tough if you cook it too long, so turn off the heat almost an instant after it comes to a boil at Step 12...* Since I love garlic, I added a lot, but 1 clove should be enough.* The amount of salt used to boil the pasta affects the taste as well. So please be precise and do not simmer it for too long. Recipe by *ai*
