Ingredients

  • 1 kg mussels
  • 2 small red chili peppers
  • 2 limes
  • 2 stalks lemongrass
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar cane
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)

Method

  • 1. Wash the mussels under the tap and leave to drain. Cut chilli peppers into thin strips, throw away seeds. Chop garlic, cut lemongrass into 4 cm pieces.
  • 2. In a large pot mix water, lime juice and wine (optional); add the garlic, lemon grass, chilli, fish sauce and sugar. Bring to boiling and add mussels. Stir thoroughly, cover and cook for 6 minutes.
