Ingredients

2 tablespoon peanut oil

2 green onions, sliced

1 long red chilli, chopped

2 clove garlic, chopped

1 teaspoon grated ginger

750 gram mussels, scrubbed, beards removed

1/4 cup oyster sauce

2 tablespoon light soy sauce

2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup fish stock

1/4 cup coriander leaves

steamed rice, to serve

Method

1.Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan on high. Stir-fry onion, chilli, garlic and ginger 1 minute, until fragrant.

2.Add mussels, sauces and sugar and stir-fry 1 minute. Pour stock over. Cover and steam mussels 2-3 minutes until shells open.

3.Scatter with coriander leaves and accompany with steamed rice.

Any unopened mussels should not be discarded as they are still fine to eat (despite previous concerns that suggested otherwise). The tendon connecting the shells simply needs to be slit with a small sharp knife to open the mussel.
