Ingredients

For the Broth

1 can Coconut Milk Light coconut milk can be used for a lighter option.
2 stalks Lemongrass Minced
2 slices Galangal Fresh ginger can work if galangal isn’t available.
3 leaves Kaffir Lime Leaves Torn
2 units Thai Chilies Adjust quantity based on your heat preference.

For the Mussels

2 pounds Fresh Mussels Ensure they are tightly closed and fresh.

For the Aromatics

1 cup Thai Basil Shredded
2 tablespoons Lime Juice Fresh is best, but bottled can be used.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Rinse the mussels under cold water, scrubbing the shells gently to remove any grit. Discard any mussels that are open or damaged.
In a large pot, combine coconut milk, minced lemongrass, sliced galangal, torn kaffir lime leaves, and chopped Thai chilies over medium heat. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Carefully add the cleaned mussels to the pot. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open.
Remove from heat, stir in fresh lime juice and shredded Thai basil. Serve hot in bowls with the fragrant broth.

Notes

Optional: Garnish with additional basil leaves or lime wedges for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but best enjoyed fresh.
