Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp peanut oil
3 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 tbsp sliced peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 stalk fresh lemongrass, sliced and smashed
1 serrano peppers or 1 thai chile, minced with seeds
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp southeast asian fish sauce
1 tbsp light brown sugar
48 large mussels, rinsed and beard removed (about 2 1/2 lb)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, plus wedges for garnish (about 2 limes)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves
3 tbsp fresh mint leaves

Directions:

Heat the oil a large skillet, with a lid, over medium heat. Add the shallots, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and chili, and stir-fry until golden and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the water, fish sauce, and sugar, stir and bring to a simmer. Add the mussels, cover and steam until they open and plump slightly, about 5 minutes.
Discard any mussels that do not open. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and mint leaves. Divide the mussels and broth evenly among the bowls. Serve.
