Braised Leeks and Noodles in Mussel Liquor

 Mussel liquor is golden.

  1. Prepare the mussels, cleaning them of barnacles and beards.
  2. Steam the shellfish with a little bit of water, in a saucepan on medium-low heat. Remove when the mussels as they open and discard those that don’t.
  3. Add chopped leeks and tomatoes to the pan and braise slowly.
  4. Season with light soy sauce and white pepper powder, to taste.
  5. Cook noodles in a separate pot and strain once done.
  6. When leeks are beautifully braised to soft tenderness, toss in the noodles and mix well.
  7. Serve with the mussels on the side.
