Tahong

Name: Tahong
Total time: 1800 s
Yield: 2-4 person
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 lbs green mussel (wash and remove the somewhat hair part of the mussel, if bought fresh we usually soak it in running water for a few hours. This will allow Live mussels emit whatever impurities); 2-3 cups water; 1 cup baby spinach or moringa leaves (you can also use bok choy); 1 tsp peeled and crushed organic ginger; 3 PCs crushed garlic; 1/4 cup diced shallots; 1-2 PCS aroma tomatoes; 1 tbsp fish sauce (you can choose kosher salt if you don’t like fish sauce); 1/4 tsp cracked pepper; 1 PC cubes italian squash (I started using this when I arrived to the US. Optional); 2 tbsp oil; 1-2 PCs jalapeño or Thai chillies (optional)
