Mussels and straw mushrooms in oyster sauce
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieIngredients :
1 kilo of fresh mussels
1 425-g. (18 oz.) can of straw mushrooms
2 thumb-sized pieces of ginger, peeled and sliced
2 onions, halved and sliced thinly
a bunch of sibuyas na mura (green onions or onion leaves)
3 tbsps. of oyster sauce
2 tbsps. of light soy sauce
1/2 tsp. of sugar
1 tbsp. of tapioca starch
1 tsp. of sesame seed oil
1/2 tsp. of balck pepper
2 tbsps. of cooking oil
Cooking procedure :
Soak the mussels for about 8 hours. To avoid spoiling, keep it in the refrigerator. Wash and drain the mussels. Pull out the beards (they should come off easily if the mussels are soaked long enough). Place in a single layer in a large shallow cake pan. Bake in a preheated 425oF oven for about 10-12 minutes. Take out of the oven and cool. Pry the shells open and discard the empty halves.
Drain the mushrooms and cut in halves. Reserve the brine. Cut the sibuyas na mura finely.
Heat the cooking oil in a skillet or wok. Saute the ginger and onions until limp. Add the mussels and mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes.
Mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, mushroom brine, tapioca starch, sugar, pepper and sesame seed oil. Pour over the mussels and mushrooms. Stir until the sauce is thick and clear. Add the sibuyas na mura and stir a few more times before turning off the heat.
Serve at once.

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!
