Tom Yam paste - 50 g
coconut milk - 150 g
garlic - 5 g

vegetable oil - 20 g
lemongrass - 20 g

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1

Soak the mussels in running water, wash off the sand, and then clean off the excess growths with a knife.

Step 2

Mix coconut milk with Tom Yam paste (I use a store-bought one, but you can make it yourself).

Step 3

Heat a cauldron or a saucepan over an open fire and fry finely chopped onions and garlic in vegetable oil until light golden brown.

Step 4

As soon as the onion and garlic are fried, put the peeled mussels, cut lemongrass lengthwise, a couple of kaffir lime leaves into the cauldron, pour in the mixture of coconut milk and paste and cover with a lid.

Step 5

The mussels are cooked for about a couple of minutes, after which they need to be lightly salted, mixed, put on a plate and sprinkled with cilantro leaves.
