Steps:
- Whisk together all but the mussels.
- Arrange mussels on a barbecue, close lid and cook 5 minutes or until mussels open. Transfer to a platter.
- Drizzle with the sauce.
Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells. Avoid any mussels with open or broken shells, as these may be contaminated.
- Clean the mussels thoroughly: Use a stiff brush to scrub the mussels under cold running water. Remove any barnacles or other debris from the shells.
- Use a variety of aromatics: Lemongrass, ginger, and kaffir lime leaves are all classic Thai ingredients that add flavor to steamed mussels. You can also use other herbs and spices, such as cilantro, basil, and chili peppers.
- Don't overcook the mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
- Serve the mussels with a dipping sauce: A simple dipping sauce made with fish sauce, lime juice, and chili peppers is a great way to add extra flavor to steamed mussels.
Conclusion:
Steamed Thai mussels are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your steamed mussels turn out perfect every time.
