Mussels And Pipis In Oyster Sauce

Great way to eat mussels

Heat a wok and add about a centimetre of water to cover the bottom.

Add the mussels and pipis and cover with a tight-fitting lid.

Steam for a few minutes and remove shellfish to a bowl as they open.

With all mussels and pipis out of the wok , add the oyster sauce , palm sugar , a few drops of sesame oil , ginger and spring onions.

Cook for a few minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the flavours have mingled.

Check the sauce for saltiness , adding more oyster sauce or , if too salty , a little water.

Toss the mussels and pipis back in the wok and add the coriander and a sprinkle of pepper.

Serve in individual bowls with rice or fine egg noodles.
