How to choose fresh chives
- You should choose chives with small, tender leaves, bright color, and quite crispy, which you can easily snap off with your fingers.
- Avoid choosing chives with dark green leaves or turning yellow, which feel quite hard to the touch, as these chives are old, not tasty, and do not contain many nutrients.
How to choose fresh clams
- If buying clams with shells, choose clams that have intact shells, are hard, tightly closed, and of a size that is neither too small nor too large.
- For shelled clams, choose them if the clam meat is white, plump, still warm, and has no strange smell.
- Do not buy clams that look dull, have soft, mushy meat, or smell rotten.

Prepare the ingredients
Wash the chives thoroughly and cut them into pieces about 2 finger joints long. To remove dirt from the clams, you should blanch them in boiling water for about 3 minutes or wash them very clean with water.
Next, put the clams into a pot and boil them with about 1 liter of water. When the water boils, reduce the heat and cook for another 3 minutes, then remove the clams and set them aside.
