Prepare superior stock by boiling 3 liters of water with 1 kg of chicken feet, 100 g of dry anchovies, and 20 g of sliced ginger for at least 1 hour.

Boil water in a pot and add 150 g of dry vermicelli, cooking for 1-2 minutes until soft, then drain and divide into three portions.

Heat a 12-inch wok over high heat, adding 2 tbsp of sesame oil and 30 g of julienned ginger, sautéing until browned.

Add the stems of 4 scallions to the wok and continue cooking for 3 minutes.

Add 1 kg of clams to the wok along with 1/4 cup of Shaoxing wine and the remaining scallions, cooking until the clams open up.

Season the soup with 1 tbsp of light soy sauce, 1 tbsp of salt, and 1/4 tsp of sugar, stirring gently to combine.

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve hot.
