Instructions

  1. Scrub the outside of the mussels with a brush. Remove and discard the beards.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or large pan add garlic, lemongrass and chili. Cook until slightly brown and fragrant.
  3. Add the mussels to the wok and toss well. Add in chinese rice wine, water, and Thai basil after about 3 minutes. Mix well. Put the lid back on for another 1 minutes or so until all the mussels are open (discard any that stay closed).

Mussels works really well with Riesling, rosé Wine, and Muscadet. Muscadet is a classic pairing, but many crisp dry whites will work. If the mussels are cooked with tomatoes, opt for a rosé. If the mussels are on the spicy side, try Riesling. You could try Naked Winery Tease, Riesling. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 20 dollars per bottle.
