A delightful and aromatic dish featuring mussels steamed in a flavorful coconut lime broth, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Prepare the ingredients by finely chopping the onion, garlic, and chili pepper.
Use a sharp knife to make chopping easier and more precise.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped onion, garlic, chili pepper, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, and cilantro.
Stir the mixture well to ensure all flavors are evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 8 minutes until the onion is tender.
Keep the lid slightly ajar to prevent the broth from boiling over.
Clean the mussels by scrubbing the shells and removing any beards. Discard any mussels that remain open after tapping.
Ensure the mussels are fresh by checking for a clean, ocean-like smell.
Add the cleaned mussels to the saucepan, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mussels open widely.
Shake the pan gently midway through cooking to distribute the heat evenly.
Serve the mussels in bowls with the broth, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.
Serve with crusty bread or rice to enjoy the flavorful broth.
