Notes
- Shirmp paste: This is also known as bagoong alamang. Get to know more about this ingredient.
- Squid: Make sure to clean the squid by washing it thoroughly. Remove the beak and the cartilage. Slice it into serving pieces.
- Mussel beards are the little fibrous strands that stick out from the shell and help the mussel cling to rocks and other surfaces. While these beards are useful for the mussel in the wild, they’re not something you want to eat. They can be tough and stringy, so it’s best to remove them before cooking. Doing this makes your mussels more pleasant to eat and improves the overall texture of your dish.To remove them, try these tips:
- Place the mussels in a bowl of cold water for about 15 minutes. This can sometimes help loosen the beard and make it easier to remove.
- Find the beard, which is a cluster of fibrous threads sticking out from the side of the mussel.
- Use your fingers or a small knife to gently pull the beard away from the shell. Grasp the beard firmly and yank it out with a quick motion. It should come off fairly easily.
- You can also use a clean kitchen towel to help grip the beard better. Give it a quick, firm pull to dislodge it. This method can sometimes make it easier to remove the beard.
