How do you know fresh mussels? They should be closed, and if they open, they react by closing them, so they show signs of life. After spraying, they must open up, and those who stay closed should not eat or throw them away. If you have already brought home and need to keep it, put it in a bowl, moisten lightly with water, cover with a wet cloth and place it in the bottom of the refrigerator, so it will last for as long as possible.
Mushrooms on coconut milk
10. November 2015
I had to prepare for you, and so expand the mushroom recipes here on the blog about this amazing recipe for coconut milk. It certainly deserves the attention of especially those of you who love Asian or Thai cuisine. As I wrote earlier, preparing my mussels at home is really very easy. Buy these mussels in good quality and fresh ones no longer have such a problem, they are basically quite cheap. Be sure to keep them fresh, ideally they should be processed no later than 3-4 days after their harvest, depending on how they are stored. So be concerned about the date of harvest.

1.
Clean the mussels and soak them in the water for 15 minutes to soak and flush.
Meanwhile, in a larger pot of coconut oil, cut the shallot-chopped shallot, add ginger or gingerbread, ginger, lemon grass, chilli to taste, and rest for a while. (Sometime ago I bought a microplane grater and I can not get it because it is incredibly sharp and can for example use parmesan or lemon peel to make super thin to translucent slivers, so I bought it in the next few days for my loved ones as a gift) and then I added it to the store .) The mixture will be easy to stick to the bottom, so keep it nice from the bottom. After a minute, after 1 minute, pour this mixture over with wine and cook for about 5 minutes. Now basse slightly baste, pepper, add fish sauce according to taste, which not only emphasizes the taste, but also whole food salted. Finally, add the coconut milk and, before boiling, prepare the mussels.
2.
Sweeten the mussels, rinse them briefly, because if they are alive, they opened up during the baths so they could release sand or other unnecessary treasures. Once the coconut milk mixture starts to boil, add dropped mussels, increase the power to the maximum, and fold over the lid. Boil vigorously and relatively briefly until they open. During the mussels, take a spoon and mix, comb and occasionally squeeze the pots, making a little bit easier in the pot and opening it up.
3.
Finished mussels can be served with fresh pastry or jasmine rice sprinkled with fresh coriander. The coconut broth you have created is perfect and very good with rice.

The mussels are an absolutely miraculous richness of nature. They have positive effects on the locomotory system, they contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are important not only for joints and connective tissues, but they also protect the body from stress.
In addition, they contain complex carbohydrates, which are important for proper energy and proper metabolism, and reduce fat in the body.
Chili peppers are also excellent, which contain capsaicin, which is responsible for their warmness. Regular consumption of chili peppers helps accelerate metabolism, lower cholesterol, reduce appetite to sweet. Chili peppers additionally contain vitamin C and minerals.
