  1. OODLES OF NOODLES

    Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season and set aside to rehydrate, 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water.

  2. CUT THE GRASS

    Slice the root end off the rinsed lemongrass and peel off the outer tougher leaves. Cut the softer inner stalk in half lengthways and finely dice.

  3. GOLDEN PEANUTS

    Place the chopped peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  4. MAKE THE MUSSELS

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the grated garlic and diced lemongrass and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the wine and cook until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Stir through the tom yum paste (to taste) and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut milk and bring to the boil. Add the mussels, cover, and simmer until cooked through, 2-3 minutes.

  5. ADD A ZINGY KICK

    Remove the soup from the heat and mix through the cooked noodles, the juice from 1 lime wedge, the lime zest (to taste) and the sliced chilli (to taste). Add a sweetener and seasoning.

  6. A BOWL OF DELICIOUSNESS
