1
For the Mussels: Place the garlic and the shallot in a large skillet with the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat and cook till the garlic is fragrant and the shallot has just become translucent/soft, about 2 min.

3
Add in the mussels.

Add in a dash of salt and pepper, then the wine.
6
Cover and simmer till the mussels have opened wide, no more than 2 min.

Arrange the mussels in a bowl and return the cooking liquid to the heat.

Add in the ong choy and the butter.

The ong choy cooks down very quickly; you want this to remain brothy.

Pour the liquid on top of the mussels and arrange the ong choy in a bundle on top.
13
Serve while warm with the fennel salt for sprinkling.
