Fresh green-lipped mussels cooked in osmanthus wine (桂花酒 guì huā jiǔ), garlic and shallots and finished with butter. Almost mariniëre. With crusty baguette.
The osmanthus wine is unusual. Normally it is made using rice wine which is flavoured with osmanthus
flowers. In this example, they have used a dry white grape wine. The wine is produced in Shaoxing where they make the more well known Shaoxing wine.
