Tips:
- Prep the Mussels Properly: Rinse the mussels thoroughly under cold running water. Discard any mussels that are open or cracked.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh mussels, lemongrass, ginger, and Thai chili peppers.
- Don't Overcook the Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so don't overcook them. Overcooked mussels will become tough and rubbery.
- Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet is ideal for cooking the mussels. It allows you to easily stir and toss the mussels as they cook.
- Garnish with Herbs: Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs such as cilantro, basil, or mint. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
