How to cook Korean noodle with clam soup:

Step 1: Kneading wheat flour:

Mix 4 cups of wheat flour with 1 cup of water, 1/2 teasppon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Knead until the flour becomes soft, smooth and elastic (knead for 10-15 minutes).

Put the flour in a sealed plastic container and keep it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: preparing clam:

– If you are using raw clams, put them in cold salt water (1 tablespoon of salt with 4 cups of water) to allow a few hours for the clams to release sand.

– Then clean the clams with cold water 2 times and drain.

If you are using frozen clams, just rinse them and add to the water when cooking.

Step 3:

– Boil 8 cups of water in a pot and add 20 dried anchovies, 2 pieces of kelp. When the water begins to boil, cover and simmer about 15 minutes with high heat.

Step 4:

– Remove any air bubbles that rise on the boil.

Step 5:

– Onion: peeled and sliced.

Step 6:

– Potato: peeled and cleaned then cut into sliced about 1.5cm thick.

Step 7:

– Scallion: rinse and cut diagonally.

Step 8:

– Separate the egg yolks into a bowl and whisk with a little salt.

Step 9:

– Heat a pan with oil over high heat and pour egg yolks into a thin set. When eggs are cooked, take out to cool down.

– Do the same with egg white.

Step 10:

– Let the eggs cool completely and cut into thin strips.

Step 11:

– Seaweed: cut into thin strips.

Step 12:

– Remove the flour, prepare a clean and dry surface. Roll the flour very thin about 2 mm or thinner.

Step 13:

– Fold the flour into 3 layers and cut into 3mm wide strips.

Step 14:

– Remove the anchovies and seaweed, put the potatoes in the broth for about 3 minutes.

– Then add the onions for about 2 minutes.

Step 15:

– Bring the water to a boil and drop the noodles for about 1 minute over high heat.

– Then remove the noodles and wash with cold water and drain. If you do not boil the noodles first, the broth will contain more starch.

Step 16:

– Add clams to broth and boil for 3 minutes.

Step 17:

– Add cooked noodles to the broth and then add 1 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of pepper and scallions. Cook until the noodles are fully cooked and the clams open. Add salt if needed.
