Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   Begin by washing and cutting the cherry tomatoes into quarters. Set them aside.
   Remove the outer layers of the spring onions, cut off the root, and slice them thinly. Set these aside as well.
   Finely chop the parsley for garnishing later.

2. Cook the Clams:
   Place the clams in a pan, cover with a lid, and cook on high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the shells open. This will release their natural juices.
   Once opened, use a slotted spoon to transfer the clams to a bowl, keeping some aside for decoration.

3. Strain the Broth:
   Use a fine mesh sieve lined with paper towels or a thin cloth to strain the clam broth. Gently use a teaspoon to help filter out any solids, leaving you with a clear broth.

4. Boil the Soy Spaghetti:
   In a separate pot, bring a large amount of water to a boil. This will be used for cooking the soy spaghetti.

5. Prepare the Sauté:
   In a pan, pour a little extra virgin olive oil and add the spring onions. Sauté until softened.
   Add the shelled clams to the pan with the spring onions, and briefly cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and set it aside.

6. Cook the Soy Spaghetti:
   Once the water is boiling, add the soy spaghetti and cook for about 3 minutes, or until they become tender but still firm. Remove from heat and drain, reserving some of the cooking water.

7. Combine the Ingredients:
   Transfer the cooked soy spaghetti directly into the pan with the clam mixture. Add the clam broth and the soy sauce to the pasta. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, allowing them to absorb the flavors. Let everything cook together for another couple of minutes to infuse the soy sauce and broth into the noodles.

8. Finishing Touches:
   Once everything is heated through, remove from the stove. Plate the soy spaghetti and top with the reserved clams for decoration.
   Finish by sprinkling the dish with freshly chopped parsley to add a burst of freshness and color.
