Clam soup, or is it stew?

20250225 #breakfastdiary 1325, 0°C/clear, 20 min/exercise (M) Had a runny nose since yesterday, sniffling away. Wondering if it's seasonal rhinitis — probably should see a doctor. Mornings like this call for 347kcal clam soup, or is it stew, with lemongrass, garlic, and ginger

500g clams, 2 stalks lemongrass, 2 cloves garlic, 1t ginger, pepper, 1 red chili pepper, 1/4 vegetable stock cube 👉 like this 1. I was going to peel the outer layer off the lemongrass, but what arrived was so scrawny I just cut it diagonally into 3cm pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger. 2. Heat a pan with olive oil, sauté the lemongrass, garlic, and ginger, and once the garlic turns golden, add a shallow layer of water. 3. Add the purged clams and simmer further until they open. Add 1/4 vegetable stock cube and taste — good. Add 1t butter and taste — great. Slice in 1 red chili pepper and taste — to die for. *Vegetable stock: Knorr's Dado brand 4. Plate and finish with pepper, pepper, pepper~ Pour the broth over cold rice and eat.
