About This Recipe
This comforting Clam and Tofu Soup is a light yet flavorful dish that highlights the natural sweetness of fresh clams and the delicate texture of soft tofu. The recipe starts by soaking clams to remove grit, while the tofu is briefly soaked in salt water for extra firmness. Sautéed ginger and scallions add a fragrant depth, enhancing the savory broth. Simmering the clams in ginger-infused water brings out their briny essence, and the tofu is added just long enough to soak up the delicious flavors without losing its silky texture. A splash of cooking wine, a sprinkle of pepper, and a pinch of salt perfectly balance the dish, while fresh scallion flowers add a vibrant finish. Quick to prepare yet rich in umami, this soup is a soothing, nutritious meal that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the harmony of tender clams and melt-in-your-mouth tofu in every spoonful!
