About This Recipe
This comforting and flavorful Clam and Tofu Soup is a delightful blend of fresh seafood, silky tofu, and sweet carrots, simmered to perfection with aromatic ginger and green onions. The clams are soaked to ensure tenderness, then cooked until they pop open in a savory broth infused with a hint of salt, sugar, and cooking wine. The tofu, cut into soft mahjong-sized pieces, absorbs the delicate briny sweetness of the clams, while diced carrots add a subtle crunch and natural sweetness. Finished with a drizzle of fragrant sesame oil and fresh green onions, this light yet nourishing soup is perfect for any meal—quick to prepare but rich in umami depth. A simple, wholesome dish that brings coastal freshness straight to your table!
