Ginger Stewed Mussels

I rarely cook shell fishes because I don't often go to wet markets. This day, I asked somebody to buy me mussels because I miss eating seafood.

I learned to cook ginger stewed mussels from my grandmother. This is a very unique dish because, believe it or not, it involves a soda. It is very easy to do.

Ingredients:

1 kilo of mussels, cleaned

2 tablespoons of oil

1 red onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

ginger root, cut into strips

1 12 oz.Sprite or 7-Up

salt to taste

1. Saute onion, garlic and ginger in 2 tablespoons of oil.

2. Add the mussels.

3. Add the Sprite or 7-Up. Cover the pan.

4. Adjust the taste by adding salt.

5. Turn off the heat when all the shells have opened.

6. Serve and enjoy!
