3 lbs mussels
1 tablespoon oil
6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 serrano peppers, seeded and finely sliced
6 spring onions, finely chopped
1 2/3 cups coconut milk
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 limes

  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the mussels. Return the pan to a boil, cover and cook briskly for 5-6 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any unopened mussels.
  • Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season the mussels well with salt and pepper. Ladle into warmed bowls and serve immediately.
