Chop Down the Clamps!

Guess wut....
Noto gonna give it a start for the first myth that came in for centuries i think....
so... having it to be pass from generations of chinese people...
guess it's not a so much a myth than a real fact that really works...
Also having a Banana & a black partner....
I would not think they should know this lil' trick bout' removing sands from mussels..

Although it's stated in any online recipe...
it's just words for anybody....
so here's the trick to remove sands from within mussels or any clamp....

According to a online recipe i found..
Just soak them for 20 minutes with tap water... or better still... use your diamond or RO water....
The clamp would breath in the water & filter out the sands from within....
so... to hasten the process...
you are to put a big chopping knife into the water...
i seriously do not know the chemistry behind it....
& that's the reason I'm writing this entry what... haha

So did it work?

Prior to soaking them... i just took out a few & boil them...
& yes... there is sand as i chew them up...

Just look at the bottom of the pot....


After that.... i soak them for half an hour with the knife in it.... & kept them in the fridge for my dinner preparation.... & also take a look at the bottom of the pail....


This is what i had for dinner.....

& seriously.....
There isn't any trace of sand inside....
& gosh it's delicious!!



PS: both my partners didn't get to taste it due to personal reasons...
I still have plenty of it in the freezer right now... we shall come together the next time kay?
