หอยแมลงภู่นึ่ง

Origin

Steamed mussels are a common seafood dish found along Thailand's coastal regions, particularly in Chonburi, Rayong, and Samut Prakan provinces. This dish begins by steaming fresh mussels straight from the sea to preserve their natural sweetness and firm texture.

Appearance and Flavor

Steamed mussels have a grayish-brown color with a fragrant aroma from garlic and sesame oil. The taste is naturally sweet from the mussel meat, blended with the richness of sesame oil and a savory note from the seasoning sauce. Mildly salty but not spicy, it offers a well-balanced, deeply satisfying flavor that invites repeated bites.

Ingredients

1 kilogram fresh mussels, 3 tablespoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 cup water, a small amount of chopped green onions

Serving Method

Serve hot in a bowl with golden broth. Use a spoon or chopsticks to extract the mussel meat, then dip into dipping sauce or enjoy alongside steaming hot rice or cold beer.
