Kupang (Mussels) Masak Merah Berserai

The inspiration of this recipe comes from a lady blogger.
I read through the ingredients and decided to tweak a little.



Ingredients:
Mussels (about 200g)
Turmeric powder (1 tsbp)
Lime juice (2 tbsp)
3 garlic cloves (chopped)
12 knob ginger (chopped)
2-3 shallots (chopped)
1 medium size tomato (cut into slices)
1 Lemongrass (bruised)
3-4 pcs Kaffir lime
2-3 pcs chilli padi
2 tbps tomato sauce
1 tbsp chilli sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
100 ml water
salt and sugar to taste

Steps:
1. Boil mussels until they're cooked. Drain mussels and add turmeric and 1 tbsp lime juice. - This is to remove the musky smell.
2. In a wok, heat up oil and then add in chopped garlic, ginger and shallots. Fry until fragrant.
3. Stir in lemongrass, kaffir lime and chilli padi. The combination should be very aromatic.
4. Now, add tomatoes followed by the mussels.
5. Keep frying until for about 5 minutes and then add in the tomato, chilli and oyster sauce.
6. Ensure the mussels are coated nicely with the sauces and then pour in water.
7. Bring to a boil. Then add in the remaining lime juice.
8. You can add salt and sugar according to your preference.
9. Serve warm with rice

Enjoy!
