OODLES OF NOODLES
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Cook the noodles until al dente, 7-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.
START THE SAUCE
Finely slice the pak choi stems and set aside. Slice the leafy parts in half lengthways, keeping them separate from the stems. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and the sliced pak choi stems and fry until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Lightly season.
FRAGRANT MUSSELS
When the onion & pak choi stems are soft, add the grated garlic, the grated ginger, and ½ the sliced chilli (to taste) to the pot. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the coconut cream, 100ml of water, the mussels, and seasoning. Cover and simmer until the mussels are heated through, 3-5 minutes. In the final 1-2 minutes, stir through the pak choi leaves until wilted. Remove from the heat and season if necessary.
TIME TO DINE!
Bowl up the noodles. Pour over the coconut sauce and mussels. Drizzle over the chilli oil, sprinkle over the picked coriander, the remaining chilli (to taste), and the sliced spring onion. Drizzle over the lemon juice (to taste). Delish, Chef!
