Tulya (Clams)
I remember my mom would often serve us tulya but I don’t recall what’s included…I never knew it was actually cooked like tinola when I saw this recipe.
Ingredients
• 3 cups shelled clams
• salt or patis and freshly ground pepper to taste
• 1 cup unripe papaya or wintermelon, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 2 pieces ginger-root strips, cut julienne-style
• 1 pound spinach or watercress (optional) -I used coriander)
• 5 cups water
METHOD
1. Let the clams set down in a bowl of water for some minutes. In a medium saucepan, bring the water and ginger to a boil
.
2. Add the clams and papaya/wintermelon and simmer for until clams are tender. Flavor with salt or patis and pepper.
3. Turn off heat and add spinach or watercress.

i love this photo–the colors make these clams more appetizing. yes, clams are sauteed with onions and ginger. we also add lemon grass.:p
agree with luna, my mom cooked this with onions, and ginger. sarap ng sabaw:)
tnx for the comment back at my WP ftf entry.
that's the food that i actually am missing.. seafoods of this kind.
My mom usually cooked it like Tinolay way with lots of ginger and lemon grass for added aroma.
pag kumakain ako nito i feel nasa province ako.. sarap kahit walang kanin! sabaw palang panalo na! hehe
