Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Mussels

In a large pot, add the water and bring it to a boil. Add the mussels and cover the pot. Steam for about 5-7 minutes until the mussels open. Discard any that do not open.

2

Make the Peanut Sauce

In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth and heated through.

3

Prepare the Salad

In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and chopped mint. Toss lightly to mix.

4

Serve

In serving bowls, place the steamed mussels, drizzle with peanut sauce, and top with the cucumber and tomato salad.
