Spicy Clam Soup

(Japan)

A light, pretty, and distinctive first course; served hot for 4; a Japanese soup.

16 cherrystone or littleneck clams, scrubbed
5 cups of fish stock
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon of parsley, minced
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
salt and pepper
12 julienne strips of orange peel, white scraped away
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Put the clams and fish stock in a large saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the clams open. Discard any clams that don't!
