Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the mussels in cold water for about 20 minutes, remove beards, scrub shells, rinse, and discard open mussels.
  2. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and tomato, ensuring small pieces for quicker cooking.
  3. Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, then add garlic and ginger for a minute.
  4. Stir in white miso paste and chopped tomato, cooking for 2 minutes until the tomato softens.
  5. Pour in broth, fish sauce, and mirin. Bring to a boil, then add cleaned mussels, cover, and steam for about 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in cooking cream and unsalted butter, let it sit for a minute, then adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle mussels and broth into bowls, garnish with chives and chili oil, and serve immediately with crusty bread.
