Fresh razor clam tofu soup

Overview

Since childhood, my mother would cook this soup for us three siblings every time the razor clams are in season. Not fancy, not expensive, not complicated but retaining the original taste of the ingredients. The collision of white radish and razor clams in "Original Flavor" is also a delicacy that will make people lose their eyebrows! Respecting the ingredients itself means respecting their original taste! Hope you guys like it! Eat happily and warm!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak razor clams in water and add some salt to spit out the sand. Wash it after half an hour and set aside

   

2. 2 Vegetables are optional. I added chicken, cabbage, mushrooms and carrots

   

3. 3 Peel razor clams. First take a razor clam and break it open with your hands to take out the meat. Then take a complete razor clam shell and insert it into another razor clam

   

4. 4 Insert it along the shell to easily separate the shell meat

   

5. 5 Use the shell to slowly scrape off the flesh. If you pull it with your hands, it will easily break the meat and make it incomplete

   

6. 6 Dice all the side dishes

   

7. 7 Dice tofu

   

8. 8 Put appropriate amount of oil in the pot and stir-fry garlic slices and ginger shreds

   

9. 9 Add mushrooms and carrots and stir-fry until fragrant

   

10. 10 Add two bowls of water (add according to your preference). Then pour in the water from the razor clams (the peeled meat will release a little water. That’s the fresh taste)

    

11. 11 Add two tablespoons of starch to the razor clams and mix well. If it is too dry, add a few drops of water. Don’t have too many!

    

12. 12 Open the water and add the tofu

    

13. 13 After the soup is boiled again, add razor clams one by one

    

14. 14 After the soup boils, add the green vegetables. Add appropriate amount of salt and light soy sauce to taste

    

15. 15 After a while, pour in the water starch. If you like it thicker, add more according to personal preference

    

16. 16 The delicious razor clam tofu soup is ready. Isn't it very simple.

    

17. 17 It’s good to drink more soup and water in autumn! Hope you guys like it!

    

18. 18 It’s best served while it’s hot!
