Tom Yum Mussels
Matt SinclairIngredients:
Recipe brought to you with the help of our friends at Wine Selectors
Serves: 4
- 1 Litre Chicken stock
- 3 stalks lemongrass, white part only, bruised
- 1-inch piece Galangal, thinly sliced
- 4 kaffir lime leaves, torn
- 3 green Birdseye chillies, chopped
- 2 Golden shallots (eschalot), peeled and sliced
- 1 punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2cm fresh turmeric, finely sliced
- 2kg Mussels, cleaned/debearded
- 1-2 Tbsp fish sauce, to taste
- 2-4 Tbsp lime juice, to taste
- 1 bunch fresh coriander stems and leaves, roughly chopped (cleaned coriander root can be added to the stock in step one)
Method:
- Place the stock, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, chillies, shallots, cherry tomatoes and turmeric into a large pot over a medium heat and bring to a light boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes to infuse the flavours. Season to taste with fish sauce and lime juice.
- Place a larger pot or wok over a high heat. When the wok is very hot, add the cleaned mussels and cover with a lid to steam for about 20 seconds. Take the lid off and pour the hot broth over the mussels straight away. Taste and adjust seasoning if required. *Be careful not to over salt the broth with fish sauce initially as there will be some salt water released from the mussels.
- Divide into serving bowls and garnish with fresh coriander. Serve immediately.
