Ingredients

• 2 pounds American Mussel Harvesters Big Ones or Whitewater mussels
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons minced ginger

• ½ cup Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

1. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat the base. Add the ginger and shallots and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 to 40 seconds. Add the rice wine and fish sauce. Carefully add the mussels and cover with a lid. Allow the mussels to steam for 5 minutes, then uncover. Stir in the white pepper.
