  • 1 tablespoon finely minced Ginger 1 piece finely minced Chili
  • 1/2 tablespoon Sesame Oil

Method

Steam the mussels until just cooked, set aside and allow to cool. For ease in eating, carefully slide a paring knife under the mussel meat to loosen the shell from the abductor muscle, placing the loose meat back onto the shell. Mix all salsa ingredients together and spoon onto cold mussels. Garnish with ground black sesame seeds.
