Thats too bad that the clam juice is hard to find where some of you live. I’ve included an edit in the recipe that substitutes the clam juice for 1/2c white wine + 1/2c veg broth. Simmer that with the lemongrass or lemon peel and it should taste mighty fine. Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. I know I’m totally copping out by such a “generic” response to the last few comments….forgive me? Hey guys! Thats too bad that the clam juice is hard to find where some of you live.

Just. WOW. I made these last night and I just had to come back to say how phenomenal this dish was. There was pretty much silence at the table other than the "mmmmm"s, "ooooh"s and the slurping of mung beans. LOL The ingredient list is deceptively small yet the flavors are huge and perfectly balanced. I'm already plotting ways to use the base in other ways; I'm sure the possibilities are endless. Wow.

Nice, fat mussels is what you want. Cooking technique also affects how plump the mussels end up. Roasting in dry oven will cause moisture loss in mussel, so if you like a denser, tougher mussel, then i recommend in oven or even bbq: http://steamykitchen.com/4615-cedar-planked-mussels.html Steaming keeps moisture in and also allows the mussel to plump up and absorb some of the steaming broth.

Question though... Added mussels to boiling broth, cooked them for about 5 minutes, and after taking them out to serve, noticed the mussels themselves were swollen and poofy....there was absolutely nothing wrong in eating them, they were very tender & tasty....wondered if boiling them at too high a temp caused them to expand? Many Thanks! Enjoyed making your receipe last night, mussels were excellent, thank you for sharing it for all to try! Question though…
