Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ginger, garlic and chiles and stir-fry until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the curry paste and ketchup and fry until slightly browned, 3 to 4 more minutes. Add the lime juice and 3 cups water, cover and bring to a boil. Add the clams; cover and steam until they open slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the mussels; cover and steam until they open slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the bell pepper and half of the cilantro and basil. Cook, covered, until the pepper is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the clams and mussels to serving bowls and ladle the broth on top. Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and basil and garnish with lime. Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Mussels: Select fresh mussels that are tightly closed and have no cracks or chips in their shells. Discard any open or broken mussels.
- Clean the Mussels Properly: Scrub the mussels under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a stiff brush to remove any barnacles or other attached growth.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the curry will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Mussels: Mussels cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked mussels become tough and rubbery.
- Adjust the Spice Level: The amount of curry paste you use will determine the spiciness of the dish. If you don't like spicy food, start with a small amount of curry paste and adjust it to taste.
