Instructions: Spicy mussels with coconut milk
Clean the mussels by removing the beard and fouling, discard mussels with broken shells and rinse well in cold water.
In a large saucepan heat the broth and coconut milk. Add sliced mushrooms, chives and ginger and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add lime juice, fish sauce, sugar and chili and taste. The perfect flavor is very personal. I have added more lime juice and fish sauce and less sugar because I prefer these types of flavors, but as I said the perfect balance is very personal.
Pour in the mussels and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the mussels are opened.
Discard the shells that did not open, add parsley and serve immediately.
