How to cook mussels

Food is the most important thing for people, so a healthy body is of course inseparable from nutritious and delicious food. Chinese food pays attention to color, aroma and taste. If you want to eat delicious food, good cooking skills are of course indispensable. Today I will introduce the method of cooking mussels to friends who like cooking!

1. Wash the mussel thoroughly, remove the whiskers, and use a hard brush to scrub the sand off the shell. Drain and set aside.

2. Chop the garlic, chop the chili, chop the coriander, cut the lemongrass into rings, and prepare the lemon and kaffirlime leaves.

3. Use a soup pot or other deep pot, add a little oil (just a little oil is fine), heat and sauté the chili, minced garlic and lemongrass, then add the mussels and stir slightly, then pour in a little white wine

4. Grate the lemon peel and throw it in, throw in the kaffirlime leaves (if using), stir well, cover with lid and cook, shaking the pot from time to time while cooking (because there is not much liquid in it), cook for a few minutes until the mussels are all open (about 3 to 5 minutes), then open the lid and see if there are any that are not open, which means they are not fresh and should be taken out and thrown away. Do not eat them.

5. Quickly add a little fish sauce, squeeze in lemon juice, add a little palm sugar or brown sugar, sprinkle in chopped coriander, mix well and serve with the soup (don't add too much fish sauce, because mussels are salty in themselves; don't add too much sugar, it's mainly to balance the sourness of lemon and also to enhance the freshness. Move a little faster, the mussels are cooked when they open, otherwise they will become tough if you cook them for too long). The soup inside can be used to pickle rice, or if bread is the staple food, use it to dip in the toasted bread, it's awesome!

When you are resting, don't always eat takeout or go out to eat. After all, video security is also a very big problem now. According to the above introduction, you can cook mussels by yourself.
