Instructions

In a small heavy-bottomed pot, bring a splash of water to a simmer. Add the diced sweet potato and steam for 6-8 minutes until tender.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot, sautéing briefly until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Add the scrubbed mussels, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and steam over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. You will hear them pop open as the shells release their briny liquor.

Once all shells are open, remove the lid, discard any that remain closed, and stir in the rice vinegar to brighten the broth.

Transfer to a bowl, ensuring the ginger-garlic broth coats the mussels and sweet potato. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds for an earthy crunch. Serve immediately while piping hot.
