Time 40m

Yield 6 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds fresh mussels
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon five-spice powder
1 1/2 cups rice wine or white wine
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Chinese sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili oil, or to taste
Dash dark soy sauce, or to taste
2 tablespoons minced fresh scallions

Steps:

  • Scrub and debeard the mussels.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan large enough to hold the mussels with room to spare, or use a large wok. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until tender but not brown. Stir in the five-spice powder, rice wine and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the mussels, cover and cook over medium heat until the mussels have opened. Transfer the mussels to individual dishes, discarding any that have not opened.
  • Stir the sesame oil into the broth and add the chili oil and soy sauce to taste. Pour the broth over the mussels, garnish with scallions and serve.
