Tips & Hints
Use up any left over sauce for dipping pak-choi.
When preparing the mussels, the beard is a thin membrane sometimes found between the upper and lower parts of the shell. When you find one, grasp it between your thumb and forefinger and pull it downwards towards the hinged-end of the mussel shell. Pull firmly until it comes out and discard. If you have trouble gripping the beard with just your fingers, a dry paper towel can help.
