Mussels and straw mushrooms in oyster sauce

It’s a stir-fry, basically. I half-cooked the mussels in the oven, pried them open and discarded the empty half shells. Then I stir-fried them with straw mushrooms, plenty of ginger, onions, green onions. The sauce was made with the mushroom brine, oyster sauce, sesame seed oil and tapioca starch. I think that’s a good description to dispense with the recipe… Just kidding 
But, seriously, this is a pretty simple recipe. A very effective way to impress dinner guests who, chances are, expect soup or a cheese-topped baked appetizer when you say tahong (mussels). Cheap too. A kilo of fresh mussels cost PhP 40.00 (about US$ 0.73). A can of straw mushrooms cost PhP 19.00. The cooked dish only cost about PhP 80.00.
In the Philippines, edible mussels refer to sea mussels. They are available cheaply all year round except when red tide makes them toxic.

hi po! mag bbirthday po anak ko at gusto ko magluto ng mga recipe nyo kaya lang di ko maprint, pano ko po kaya maprint? salamat po.
hi che.
hindi ko pa rin matutunan kung paano gawin yan sa Wordpress. Dati kasi sa EE madali lang eh.
have you heard of tahong chips?
is there any other way po ba how to cook tahong first in this recipe aside from baking? wala po kasi akong oven.
Steam them.
Hi! I love to cook for my family as well as guests! This recipe of yours is somewhat similar to one of the dishes I make, it’s adobong tahong, I don’t know if you heard of it yet. The difference is there’s no mushroom in it and I take off the shells of the mussels completely. I will try this recipe also coz it looks good and my husband is an avid fan of seafoods. more power to you!
