Kabya Soup Recipe


INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium-sized onion, chopped
2 tbsp ginger, peeled, crushed, and choped
2 kilos live kabya (nylon) clams
1 medium-sized sayote or patola (luffa), peeled and chopped
4 cups water
1 tbsp fish sauce (patis)
 rock salt, pepper, and MSG (vetsin) to taste

DIRECTIONS
  1. Place the kabya clams in a deep tray. Add some water and a fistful of rock salt. Make sure that the tray is large enough so that the clams are submerged in the water. Leave it overnight or a few hours before cooking. This will cleanse the clams by spitting out sand and mud from their shells.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté garlic, ginger, and onion. Add the kabya clams. Cooked for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  3. Add water and the seasonings. Cover. Simmer until the kabya clams have opened their shells.
  4. Add the sayote or patola. Add more water if needed. Cover. Cook until the vegetable is done.
  5. Serve.
