Tips: Mussels can become tough if cooked too long, so lower the heat once the sauce has reduced enough to lightly coat them.
Tips: Thinly sliced ginger helps mellow any fishy aroma while adding a delicate fragrance.
Tips: Let the finished dish rest for about 5 minutes so the braising sauce soaks more deeply into the mussels.
