Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g mussels
- 500 g pipis
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger
- 1 piece red chili
- 3 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 stalks spring onions
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Thoroughly clean and scrub the mussels and pipis, discarding any that are open and do not close when tapped.
Mince the garlic cloves, grate the ginger, and slice the red chili thinly. Chop the spring onions into 2-inch pieces and roughly chop the cilantro.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic, ginger, and chili to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cleaned mussels and pipis to the pan and toss to coat in the aromatic mixture.
Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the shellfish have opened. Discard any that remain closed.
Remove the lid and toss in the spring onions. Cook for an additional minute to soften them slightly.
Transfer the mussels and pipis to a serving dish, pouring the sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright finishing touch.
