Ballerina pasta alle vongole, bianco e oregano.
That’s the name in my kitchen. Don’t trust my skills at Italian language, but trust me to adapt the recipe to Japanese context.

First, let’s prepare salmon. It’s salmon trout to be exact.

Aburi sushi is midway between raw sashimi and grilled fish, so you get the great texture and the nice taste.

First let them refresh in salty water.

The hamaguri clams are opened in white wine with negi (green parts) and oregano. Then ballerina pasta are added and let 2 minutes with a covered lid, the time they swallow the flavors.

The plate is crowned by bok choi, that was blanched with the pasta. I place the pasta in the middle, the seafood and more oregano on top. Black pepper and a drizzle on olive oil on top.
Mmmmm…..

Spicy boat

Asari clams in a spicy soup.

The base is a Thai tom yum soup, from paste. With the shellfish, onion, green pepper, wonton sheets. I added a few rice noodles forgotten in their package, too few for a dish.

With the rest of my “field” of broccoli sprouts.

Served with hot moffles (mochi waffles).

Asari and douchi hot duet (black bean shellfish sauce)

A superb sauce to change my plain old pasta.

I have enjoyed the shellfish and douchi sauces in Singapore. I don’t have their recipe, so I invented mine.

Chili and douchi Chinese fermented black beans.

Onion, tomato, a few douchi (they are VERY salty), chili…simmered in a little oil. Slightly mixed.

Added Chinese aged “wine”, then the asari clams.
