36 Little Neck Clams
2 pounds mussels, cleaned and scrubbed (preferably let them sit in a large bowl with water and 1/4 cup flour for 1-2 hours to purge of internal impurities, then rinse well)
3/4 pound bay scallops (or large scallops, halved horizontally)
1-2 bunches Soba noodles

1/2 cup white wine
5 small red chiles, dried or fresh, crumbled or chopped into small pieces

1/2 cup mixed small basil leaves (I used Thai & Italian)

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil, drop in the soba noodles, cook 1-2 minutes, to just al dente.
2
Drain immediately, rinse under cold water to preserve texture, and reserve.
3
Using a deep enamel or cast iron skillet, heat the 1/4 cup olive oil and add the garlic and chiles, softening over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
4
Add the wine and stir together.
5
Add the lobster stock and bring to a boil.
6
Drop in the tomatoes, clams and mussels, and cover for 2-3 minutes.
7
When the shells begin to open, add the scallops and cook several more minutes, until the scallops are cooked and the shellfish has completely opened up.
8
Divide the soba noodles into the bottom of four large serving bowls.
9
With a slotted spoon, transfer the shellfish from the skillet on top of the noodles in the bowls.
10
Using a ladle, add the broth to the serving bowls, up to the rim, covering the noodles.
11
Add a couple of the small croutons to the broth, top with the basil leaves and serve steaming hot.
