Mussels In Asian Style Recipe by Archana’s Kitchen


  • To begin making the Mussels In Asian Style, wash mussels well in cold water for 3 to 4 times. Discard any beards if present.

  • Mine are already slightly opened, because I had bought them the previous day and had chilled them in the freezer, but if your mussels aren’t opened, don’t worry.

  • While cooking they will open up. Heat oil in a saucepan and once the oil is heated, saute minced ginger, garlic on medium heat for few seconds.

  • Add 2 tablespoons of red chili paste, onion powder and saute for few more seconds. Add water and mussels.

  • Mix well. Cover and cook on medium high heat for about 10 minutes.

  • After 10 minutes, the mussels will open up. Discard any unopened ones.

  • Keep stirring in between. Add garlic powder, 1 tablespoon red chili paste, vinegar, mint and coriander leaves.

  • Mix, cover and simmer for another 5 minutes on medium heat. Remove cover and add turmeric powder. This helps to eliminate shell fish smell.

  • You can totally skip this step if you don’t want, but I add turmeric in most of my fish recipes to hide the strong smell of fish. Mix well and remove from heat. Enjoy these yum and easy Asian mussels.

  • Serve Mussels In Asian Style as a side dish along with Hoisin Tofu & Mushroom Stir Fry and Mushroom Fried Rice for your weekend meal.
