How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh clams
- You should choose clams that are still closed because those are fresh.
- Choose clams with strong, intact shells that are not cracked or broken; larger clams are meatier and sweeter than smaller ones.
- Do not buy clams that have a foul smell or strange odor, or that are easily opened, as these are likely dead.
How to choose fresh chives, ensuring quality
- You should choose young chives, with small leaves, bright color, crispy leaves, and can be easily snapped by hand.
- You should avoid chives that are dark green or yellowish because these are old chives, not tasty, and lose a lot of nutrients.
- Avoid choosing bunches of chives that are wilted or have a rotten smell because they are no longer fresh and spoil quickly.

Prepare the ingredients
First, wash 500g of clams thoroughly, then put them into a pot to boil until they all open. Be careful with the stove as the clam water can easily overflow.
Next, wash 100g of chives and then use a knife to cut them into short pieces. After that, wash the tofu with water and cut it into squares.
While waiting for the clams to cook, prepare a large bowl and a colander. After the clams are cooked, pour them into the colander, using the bowl to catch the clam water.
Let the bowl of clam water sit to settle the sediment, while you remove the clam meat.

Cook the soup
First, you place a pot on the stove, add cooking oil and minced shallots to sauté until fragrant, then quickly stir-fry the clam meat with 1 teaspoon of fish sauce.
Next, you pour the clam meat into a bowl and add the settled clam juice into the pot to cook the soup. When the clam juice boils, you add the chive leaves, stir well, and continue to add the cut tofu into the pot.
You wait for the pot to boil again, then season with salt, seasoning powder, and monosodium glutamate to taste. Finally, you turn off the stove and ladle the chive soup into a bowl, placing the stir-fried clam meat on top to finish.
