These mussels are in a rich, fragrant broth and take no time to clean or cook; most are already cleaned and only need to be rinsed. Chinese black bean sauce lends authentic flavour to stir-fried vegetables or steamed fish for quick takeout-style meals at home. Serve over steamed rice along with broccoli sautéed with garlic and a pinch of hot pepper flakes.

Ingredients
Method
Rinse mussels and remove any beards. Discard any that do not close when tapped.
In Dutch oven or large saucepan, combine mussels, black bean sauce, ginger, garlic, onions and 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; stir to coat. Cover and bring to boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6 minutes or until mussels open. Discard any that do not open. Remove from heat; add coriander and toss.
