• 3 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 stalks spring onions
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly clean and scrub the mussels and pipis, discarding any that are open and do not close when tapped.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves, grate the ginger, and slice the red chili thinly. Chop the spring onions into 2-inch pieces and roughly chop the cilantro.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the garlic, ginger, and chili to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the cleaned mussels and pipis to the pan and toss to coat in the aromatic mixture.

Step 6

Stir in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 7

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until all the shellfish have opened. Discard any that remain closed.

Step 8

Remove the lid and toss in the spring onions. Cook for an additional minute to soften them slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the mussels and pipis to a serving dish, pouring the sauce over the top.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a bright finishing touch.
