Best MISO SOUP WITH CLAMS recipe in 2021!
Adding sake brings this dish to a new level.
Instead of using dashi, the soup gets its flavor from the natural brininess of the clams and their juices, which, combined with sake, form the base.
Miso Soup with Clams
The Miso Soup with Clams requires few ingredients, just miso paste, clams, sake, and mitsuba, or Japanese wild parsley, as a garnish. You can find mitsuba in Japanese grocery stores, but you can also substitute with scallions.
The Miso Soup with Clams takes only 10 minutes or so to make. It’s great an accompaniment to sushi, noodles, or a precursor to meaty dishes like Japanese beef and rice, teriyaki chicken, or braised pork belly.
