Instructions

1

Pour the water for the rice (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.

Stir in the rice and 0.25 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium and cover with the lid. Leave to cook for 10 mins, then remove the pan from the heat (still covered) and leave to the side for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).

2

Meanwhile, trim the pak choi, then thinly slice widthways. Trim and halve the green beans.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).

In a small bowl, combine the cornflour with the soy sauce and one-third of the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Set aside.

Drain the mussels in a colander. 

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Add the pak choi and green beans. Stir-fry until just soft, 3-4 mins.

Add the cashew nuts, garlic, ginger puree and chilli flakes. Stir fry for 1 min.

4

Add the mussels to the frying pan with the remaining water, honey (see pantry for amount) and the cornflour mixture. Stir well to combine.

5

Stir-fry the mussels and veg until piping hot, 5 mins. IMPORTANT: Mussels served in shell, beware of sharp edges or broken shell. Discard any that do not open. Ensure they're piping hot throughout.

Once the mussels are cooked, stir in half the coriander. 

6

Share your rice between bowls and top with the stir-fried mussels, veg and sauce. 

Sprinkle over the remaining coriander to finish.

Enjoy!
