Spring mussel meat is clean and plump, which is the most suitable season for eating. Braising mussel meat and pork belly in braised sauce is a very traditional classic hometown dish. I still use our traditional method, colored with rock sugar, green onion and turmeric wine. It removes fishy smell and enhances fragrance, and tastes soy sauce and soy sauce. The finished product has a red and attractive color, and the taste is crisp but not rotten, fat but not greasy. Rich and sweet
