Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Scrub and debeard the mussels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a saucepan large enough to hold the mussels with room to spare, or use a large wok. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute until tender but not brown. Stir in the five-spice powder, rice wine and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.

  3. Step 3

    Add the mussels, cover and cook over medium heat until the mussels have opened. Transfer the mussels to individual dishes, discarding any that have not opened.

  4. Step 4

    Stir the sesame oil into the broth and add the chili oil and soy sauce to taste. Pour the broth over the mussels, garnish with scallions and serve.
