150ml white wine vinegar
6 tbsps sugar
Splash of fish sauce
Juice of 1 lime

Method
Clean the mussels, then steam them open in a pan with a little water. Discard any that don’t open.
In a frying pan gently soften the onions, garlic, ginger and chillies. Add the vinegar and the sugar, stir well to dissolve, taste to create that sweet and sour balance and then season with a few drops of fish sauce. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Tip the mussels and their juices into the frying pan, stir well to create a sticky coating over the mussels. Squeeze in the lime juice, add the herbs.
Serve hot or chilled.
