Notes
- Avoid overcooking tahong (mussels) to keep them tender and flavorful. When overcooked, mussels can become tough and rubbery, losing their delicate texture. If cooking with shells on, make sure they are cooked just until fully opened and heated through. For de-shelled mussels, cooking for slightly less than 10 minutes is usually sufficient. This approach helps preserve their natural juices and ensures a succulent, enjoyable bite.
