Manila Clam and Mussel Tinola Recipe

This recipe will give you a mild tasting dish. If you want the taste of clams to stand out, I suggest that you use clam juice to give it a boost. You can either use plain clam juice, which are usually sold in bottles, or you can buy the canned chopped clams in juice.
