This aromatic steamed mussels recipe offers a contemporary twist on a coastal classic, replacing the traditional white wine and garlic base with the refined, umami-rich notes of Japanese sake. The heat from the Thai bird chillies cuts beautifully through the rich, buttery sauce, while fresh coriander provides a vibrant finish. It is a sophisticated yet deceptively simple seafood dish that brings a touch of elegance to any dinner table.
Perfect as a light starter or a main course for two, these sake-steamed mussels are an excellent choice for a quick midweek treat or a relaxed weekend supper. Serve in deep bowls with plenty of crusty bread or even some simple steamed rice to soak up the fragrant, spicy broth. High in protein and rich in minerals, this dish is as nourishing as it is flavourful.
