Instructions for selecting raw materials
- Clams: Choose live clams with hard shells, tightly closed mouths or self-closing when touched, heavy in the hand because of the meat. Avoid clams with thin shells, open mouths, light in the hand because they may be dead or have been stored for a long time.
- Malabar spinach: Choose vegetables with many young shoots, medium-sized leaves, lush green color, stems and stalks that are not too big or wilted. Avoid vegetables with large leaves and stems because they are often sprayed with growth stimulants or have been stored for a long time.
How to cook clam and malabar spinach soup
Prepare clams and Malabar spinach
Before cooking, preparing the clams and Malabar spinach is an important step to help the soup clean, free of sand, while retaining the natural sweetness of the clams and the fresh green color of the vegetables. Wash the clams with water, remove dead ones or cracked shells. Pick off the old leaves and hard stems of the Malabar spinach, wash several times with water to remove sand, drain and cut into bite-sized pieces. Peel and chop the shallots to sauté until fragrant when cooking.

3 ways to clean sand from clams
- Soak in diluted salt water with chili or ginger: Mix salt water with a concentration of about 2-3% salt, then add a few slices of crushed ginger or a few sliced fresh chili peppers to increase the effectiveness of removing the fishy smell and stimulating the clams to release sand. Soak the clams for 2-3 hours. During the soaking process, the clams will open their mouths and release all the sand and mud. After soaking, take the clams out and wash them many times with clean water to completely remove any remaining sand.
- Soak in warm salt water or rice water: Prepare warm water around 50°C, add a little salt or use rice water. Warm temperature helps clams open their mouths easily, while rice water or salt stimulates clams to release all the sand and mud inside. Soak for about 30-60 minutes, while soaking, stir gently occasionally to move the clams, sand is thoroughly removed. Then, rinse the clams several times with cold water before cooking.
- Soak and shake vigorously: Put the clams in a bowl of clean water mixed with salt, cover or cover tightly, then shake vigorously a few times. This method creates collisions to help the clams release sand faster. After shaking, let the clams settle, scoop them out and rinse them several times with clean water. This method is suitable when you need to prepare them quickly, both helping to clean the sand from the clams and keeping the clam meat firm and delicious.
Boiled clams
After the clams have been completely cleaned of sand, prepare a pot with about 500-700ml of water, add a few slices of crushed lemongrass or 1 crushed shallot to increase the natural aroma. Boil over medium heat until the water boils, the clams begin to open their mouths completely, that is a sign that the clams are cooked. During the boiling process, do not cover the lid too tightly to avoid boiling water overflowing, while keeping the light aroma of lemongrass and onions.
When the clams are cooked, use a slotted spoon to scoop them out into a bowl, keeping the broth. This will be the main broth for the soup, clear, naturally sweet, and rich in nutrients. If you want the soup to be completely free of sand and grit, you can filter it through a sieve or fine muslin cloth, removing the residue and foam floating on the surface. A small tip is to keep some of the clam broth to wash the meat again, helping the clam meat not to be salty or lose its natural sweetness.

Cook clam soup with jute
Add the filtered clam broth back into the pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the water boils, add the washed and chopped Malabar spinach, stirring gently to prevent the spinach from breaking. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is tender, still green and slightly crunchy.
Next, add the shelled clam meat to the pot. Season with salt, seasoning powder, and a little ground pepper, stir gently. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the clams absorb the spices, the vegetables blend with the broth without losing their natural sweetness. Avoid cooking for too long because the vegetables will become mushy, lose their green color, the clams will become tough and the soup will lose its freshness.

Finished product
The finished clam and malabar spinach soup has a clear broth, naturally sweet from the clams, lush green malabar spinach, and soft but still chewy clams. The light aroma of lemongrass or fried onions makes the soup more appealing. When enjoyed, the sweet, pleasant taste is very suitable for family meals, especially on hot summer days. Clam and malabar spinach soup is not only nutritious but also easy to digest, suitable for all ages.
You can combine the soup with hot rice, bread or light side dishes to make the meal more complete. To enhance the flavor, you can sprinkle some chopped green onions or ground pepper before enjoying, making the soup more eye-catching and delicious. This is a simple but nutritious soup, helping the whole family to be both cool and nutritious.
