chilli paste

Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the fermented paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the coconut milk, water and mussels. Cover the pot with a lid and leave to cook for 6-8 minutes. Give the pot a gentle shake while the mussels cook, to move them around in the cooking liquid.

Transfer the mussels and their cooking liquid to a serving dish and sprinkle with lemon juice and coriander.
