1. Wash: Wash the mussels thoroughly with water to remove sand and impurities from the surface.
2. Soaking: Soak the mussels in lightly salted water, seawater at a concentration of about 3.5%, which can be done by adding one teaspoon of salt to one liter of water. The soaking time is about 30 minutes, which is good for removing sand particles from the body of the mussels.
3. Diets that require boiling: Heat a pan and add an appropriate amount of water. When the water boils, add the tamarind and stir-fry quickly, this will speed up the opening of the tamarind. Stir fry a few times, add the right amount of seasoning, such as garlic, ginger, cooking wine, etc., to increase the flavor of the dish.
4. Cover the pot: During the process of cooking tamarind, cover the pot in time to keep the temperature and humidity in the pot, which can make the tamarind cook quickly and open more easily.
5. Cook: Keep cooking over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the mussels are open. Turn off the heat as soon as they are cooked to prevent overcooking and hardening of the meat.
The above steps will make the mussels easier to cook. Hope it helps you!
