Steamed Asian Style Mussels Recipe

Mussels are such a yummy treat and so quick to prepare. All you need with them is either some fresh bread or steamed rice to mop up the sauces. Mmmmm mussels!

  • 36 fresh live mussels (green lipped)
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • finely grated rind of a lemon or lime
  • 2 tablespoons sweet thai chili sauce
  • ¼ cup of chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 spring onions, finely sliced

Scrub mussels and remove the beards. Heat the oil in large saucepan with the garlic, lemon rind and ginger to sizzle for a couple of seconds. Add the chili sauce and mussels, cover for 3 to 4 minutes until mussels open.

Throw away any mussels that don't open and toss through the chopped coriander and sliced spring onions. Place on large serving platter and enjoy!
