STEP 1/7
First, rinse thoroughly under running water and remove the mess from the mussel.
STEP 2/7
Most mussels are cultured, so they have whiskers like this. Pull this off. And then
STEP 3/7
If you wash it with a sponge for ingredients, most of them will be washed away.
STEP 4/7
It's gotten so pretty, right? It's good to wash mussels like this without separately removing them. It's not fresh if it's broken while washing or mussels come out, so please throw it away boldly. Cooking with one or two fresh mussels can make you smell fishy.
STEP 5/7
After adding 1kg of mussels, add water to cover the mussels. Don't add salt at all at this time. It depends on the amount of water, but you can squeeze it if you add salt in advance.
STEP 6/7
If you want to enjoy it spicyly, 1 or 2 cheongyang peppers! Prepare only the white part of the green onion. The flavor of mussels is enough without any other ingredients. So you don't have to season it with salt or soy sauce at all. If you added a lot of water, you can taste it later and add a little salt.
STEP 7/7
When it boils up, add green onions and hot pepper and you're done! The mussels' lips! If you open it, the mussel soup is done!
To enhance the taste of mussel soup a little more You can use dried kelp rather than plain water and soaked water. Instead, I personally recommend broth again because anchovy broth reduces the taste of mussels.
