Ingredients

  • 500g fresh mussels
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • a thumb-size piece of ginger
  • 2 fresh red chillies
  • a small handful of fresh coriander sprigs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

The Sauce

  • 1 teaspoon chilli bean sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon dark soy sauce

Method

• Sort through the mussels, discarding any that don’t close when tapped gently.

• Wash the mussels thoroughly by running them under cold water and rinsing them 3 or 4 times, then place the mussels in a mixing bowl.

• Finely chop the garlic, ginger and chillies. Mix the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl or ramekin.

BUILD YOUR WOK CLOCK: place your chopped garlic at 12 o’clock, then arrange the ginger, chillies, mussels, sauce bowl and coriander clockwise around your plate.
