Reviews
Love this recipe! Easy to make and I mostly have all the ingredients in my pantry. Will definitely make this again but will probably double the ingredients except the mussels to have more sauce which was fantastic! Wasn’t too spicy but had a kick that was just right.
Outstanding! I made this with clams rather than mussels (I like both, but clams have a tad bit less fat/carbs). For one person I used 25 clams but same amount of everything else (other than oil, only used 2 teaspoons). It made a LOT of broth, which I spooned over shirataki tofu noodles. I also added some broccoli and red bell pepper, along with two tablespoons of sesame cilantro dipping sauce that I got from a local Thai restaurant. Certainly not necessary, but wow, what a great taste it imparted! In place of that you could use a bit handful of finely chopped cilantro, added to the pot just before serving. Loved the zing from the chili garlic sauce!
Made this w/Brian’s fried rice and garlic shrimp – all yummy, but we do get great seafood in Seattle. Making Brian’s rice again for Chinese dinner on Saturday along w/Wolfgang’s Stir Fried Vegetables.
I think it is totally unfair that thte screw-up by Food Network has caused a low rating for this dish. It would be much more fair to eliminate all the low (and high) ratings that were given for this dish based solely on the lack of recipe information! And that includes this one !!!
This was a great tasting recipe. Although the oyster sauce isn’t the thick sauce you see at Chinese restaurants and buffets, the flavor is much better. I like spicy food and ended up adding more chili sauce than the recipe required. I goofed on the amount of chicken broth (put in 1/2 c instead of 1 c but the recipe still ended up fine. This was probably due to my mussels being smaller than what I normally see used at restaurants. If you have large mussels, def. make sure to use the full cup or more of broth for steaming.
This was an easy recipe to make, especially for being a novice cook. Highly recommend!
Come on people!!!
UNBELIEVABLE…FNN STRIKES AGAIN AND UNFORTUNATELY THE ONLY WAY FOR VIEWERS TO RESPOND IS LIKE THIS.
I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but will. I do want to add some comments though. I think Brian is very entertaining and enjoy watching his show. When I watched him cook the mussels, I noticed that a lot of the mussels looked like they weren’t closed, and possibly dead, and think he should have made a note of that. The recipe looks like a great combination of flavors, but when I try it, I think a slurry of cornstart and water to thicken the sauce would be a great addition.
Brian my above statement is for you!!! I just think you are great and the best thing next to my other favorite Sunny Anderson…You are too funny and we are homies because I too am from the Bay Area, grew up in Fremont Ca. and just moved to NYC in 06!!! I love your show and keep up the good work…I actually came on searching for the Fried Rice recipe, but it hasn’t been posted:however, it looks absolutely declicious..Please post the recipe for the Fried Rice, I can’t wait to make it!
This was my first time I ever watched Brian’s show and I was enjoyed his show but there is something missing…Where are his Chinese recipes? Please hurry post them.
