Eat Mee Soup

Spicy clam soup ended up tasting like Prawn Mee soup. Which is awesome. Because Prawn Mee soup is pretty much the best thing ever.

Spicy Clam and Udon Soup
Serves 4

1/2 lb dried udon, soba, etc
2 tsp Sesame oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp minced ginger
2 tsp Siracha/Chili Garlic Sauce/Sambal
1 tsp Cayenne
1 tsp Sugar
2 cups Clam juice (2 bottles)
2 cups water
2 doz Littleneck clams, scrubbed
12 oz wilting greens - Baby spinach+Watercress+Sprouts would be best
3 scallions, sliced

Cook the noodles until almost done, drain.
Heat the sesame oil in a big pot. Add the garlic, ginger, sauce, cayenne, and sugar. Don't add salt.
Once this has cooked a bit, add the water and clam juice. Bring to a boil.
Add the clams and cook until they open - about 5 minutes. Remove the clams and shuck.
Add the noodles and vegetables, and cook until the greens have wilted.
Add clams and serve.
