How to make Mao's Mussels (Black Beans and Chilli)
This is a Cantonese Seafood staple. Having watched members of my family cooking this dish for years I attempted it for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it was decent! (see pic).
Prep (spices).
- Wash, de-seed and dice chillis.
- Dice garlic (un-cloved), ginger (grated) and spring onions (washed).
Cooking.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok
- Add diced spices, stir and allow to sizzle and release their flavours for a few minutes.
- Add black beans and then the Mussels, stir (bottom to top, slowly and evenly..).
- Add a few generous splashes of soy sauce, sugar and freshly boiled water - stir.
- Allow to cook for few more minutes.
- Add cornflour mixed with hot water as thickener if preferred.
Serve with boiled Thai fragrant rice. Enjoy!
