Ingredients

  • 250 grams Tahong (Mussels) boiled and removed from shells
  • 100 grams Odong
  • 50 grams Misua
  • 3 cloves Garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 small Onion peeled and chopped
  • 1 large Tomato sliced
  • 2 tbsp Fish sauce
  • 2 ½ cups Water
  • 1 stalk Spring onion chopped
  • 3 tbsp Cooking oil
  • Salt to taste
  • ground Black pepper to taste
  • Seasoning granules optional

Instructions

Prepare the Mussels

  • Wash and clean the tahong thoroughly. Boil the mussels until cooked, then remove the meat from the shells. Set aside while preparing the other ingredients.

Sauté the Aromatics

  • Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the onion and cook until softened.
  • Add the sliced tomato and continue cooking until the tomato becomes tender and releases some of its juices.

Add the Mussels and Broth

  • Put the cooked tahong into the pan and stir gently to combine with the sautéed ingredients. Add the fish sauce and mix well.
  • Pour in the water and add seasoning granules if using. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Cook the Noodles

  • Add the odong to the boiling broth. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  • Add the misua and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir gently so the noodles do not stick together.

Season and Finish

  • Taste the soup and adjust with salt and ground black pepper as needed. Keep in mind that the fish sauce already adds saltiness, so add salt gradually.
  • Add the chopped spring onion and allow it to cook briefly. Turn off the heat once everything is fully cooked.
  • Serve the soup hot and enjoy.
