Thai Steamed Mussels In Coconut Milk Recipes

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, combine the lime juice, coconut milk, wine, curry paste, garlic, fish sauce and sugar. Stir to dissolve sugar and curry paste and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes then add mussels. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mussels are opened, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and discard any unopened mussels. Pour mussels and liquid into a serving dish and toss with cilantro.

Steps:

• For the mussels: Preheat a large lidded saucepan or moules (mussels) pot with the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic. Saute until soft and fragrant, 5 minutes. Add the cilantro stems, lime zest, lime juice, chiles and lemongrass and saute for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the mussels, beer, coconut milk and lime leaves, then cover and allow to steam until the mussels open, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the fish sauce and stir to combine. Discard any mussels that do not open. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
• For the toasted bread: Preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat with a little vegetable oil. Add the baguette slices and toast on both sides until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rub with the garlic clove. Serve alongside the mussels.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a heavy Dutch oven on the grates of the grill until shimmering. Add the lemongrass, curry paste, wine, coconut milk, fish sauce, and lime juice and bring to a simmer, whisking. Add the mussels, cover the pot, and let steam until opened. During the last minute of cooking, add the cilantro and basil. Serve from Dutch oven into individual bowls, discarding the lemongrass.

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
• Add lemongrass, galangal, ginger, chiles, lime leaves, sugar and fish sauce. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add coconut milk, then taste broth for salt and adjust. (You may prepare up to this point 1 to 2 hours in advance and leave at room temperature.)
• Bring mixture to a boil over high heat and add clams. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice, until all clams have opened.
• Transfer clams to soup bowls. Strain broth if desired and ladle over clams. Sprinkle with cilantro and scallions. Squeeze lime over each bowl and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Scrub the mussels in cold water. Scrape off any barnacles with a knife, then pull out and discard the fibrous beard visible between the hinge on any of the shells. Discard any mussels that are not tightly closed, or which fail to close when tapped sharply.
• Heat a large wok or pan over high heat and then add the oil. Stir in the garlic, ginger, chillies, and spring onions and stir fry for 30 seconds.
• Grate the rind of the limes into the ginger mixture, then squeeze both fruit and add the juice to the wok with the coconut milk, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir to mix.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the mussels. Return the pan to a boil, cover and cook briskly for 5-6 minutes, or until all the mussels have opened. Discard any unopened mussels.
• Remove the wok from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season the mussels well with salt and pepper. Ladle into warmed bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put the onion, garlic, chili peppers, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice and cilantro into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for about 8 minutes or until the onions are cooked.
• Check that all the mussels are tightly closed. If one is open, tap it - if it closes it's good, but if any stay open, throw those ones out.
• When the onions are cooked in the saucepan, throw in all the good mussels, put the lid on and cook until the mussels are widely open.
• Serve the mussels in their shells with the broth and some garlic bread.

Steps:

• Scrub mussels well and remove beards. Squeeze enough juice from limes to measure 1/3 cup. In an 8-quart kettle boil lime juice, coconut milk, wine, curry paste, garlic, fish sauce, and sugar over high heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add mussels, tossing to combine. Cook mussels, covered, stirring occasionally, until opened, about 5 to 8 minutes. (Discard any unopened mussels.) Chop cilantro and toss with mussels.
• Serve mussels with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the bottom of a large pot until hot. Add the shallot, garlic, lemongrass and chile. Cook over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk and mussels. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the mussels have opened, 5 to 7 minutes (discard any mussels that remained closed). Remove from heat, and use a slotted spoon to transfer the mussels to a large bowl, leaving the liquid in the pot. Stir the lemon zest and juice, fish sauce and cilantro into the pot. Taste and add more fish sauce and/or lemon juice if needed (fish sauce provides the salt).
• As the mussels cook, heat the broiler. Place the croissants, cut side up, on a small baking sheet. Run under the broiler until just golden. Put the mussels in two wide, shallow bowls. Ladle the broth over them and serve with the croissants.
