Ingredients: 1 lb littleneck clams, scrubbed; 4 cups dashi stock (or ichiban dashi); 3 tbsp doenjang (fermented soybean paste); 1 tbsp white miso; 2 tbsp sake; 1 tbsp mirin; 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cold; 1 tsp sesame oil; 8 oz fresh egg noodles (or 6 oz dried udon); 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch batons; 2 tbsp neutral oil (for charring); 1 small zucchini, cut into thin planks; 1 small yellow squash, cut into thin planks; 0.5 sheet nori, toasted; 1 tsp sesame seeds; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tsp gochugaru; Kosher salt, white pepper

A silky, umami-forward broth built from grilled clam shells, fermented doenjang paste, and dashi stock, finished with a whip of brown butter. Hand-torn noodles cook à la minute in the broth, while fresh littleneck clams steam open at the last moment. Topped with scallion oil, nori ash, and charred summer squash for textural contrast and visual height.
