FOODlog #436: Sake Steamed Mussels

Continuing from my previous blog post, another dish that I made for the recent event at the place I work at was Sake Steamed Mussels.

These are locally farmed green lip mussels that taste so amazing! They are fresh, clean, and has a crisp texture to it. All it takes is just a cooking of 30 seconds and it's ready to be enjoyed.

For this dish, I cooked it together with sake that gave it a nice aromatic sweetness as well as contuining with the Japan themed menu for the event.

Also cooked it with some sliced garlic and chili and finished off with freshly chopped parsley and spring onions for a nice freshness and colour.

I finished the dish off with some sea grapes which give it a nice briny umami kick and a wonderful crunchy texture, tying up the whole dish together.

Such a delicious product that needed just a few ingredients to turn it into an amazing dish.
